Ten’s former programming boss David Mott has returned to the industry as the boss of Channel Nine Perth.

Nine Entertainment Co also announced that it will buy Channel Nine Perth from WIN next week and that Mott will run it.

Nine boss David Gyngell said in a statement: “Following detailed discussions with WIN proprietor Bruce Gordon and the completion of due diligence requirements, we are now in a position to finalise the contracts on this pivotal deal for the Nine Network.

“This is an historic landmark for us because together with our recent acquisition of NWS Adelaide it heralds the formation of a truly national Nine Network across Australia, with all the competitive strengths and advantages that offers.”
