Lou Barrett staying with Ten as MCN takes on majority of broadcaster’s sales staff

July 13, 2015 5:07

Sales house Multi Channel Network (MCN) has restructured its sales team as it prepares to take on the sales function for Network Ten, with 120 staff set to transfer from the free-to-air TV network.

The changes come following last month’s deal which saw pay-TV provider Foxtel take a 15 per cent stake in Ten, with Ten in return taking a 25 per cent interest in MCN.

Of Ten’s 150 sales staff 120 will move across to MCN, 20 are staying with Ten while the other ten have left the company. Current sales head Louise Barrett will stay at Ten “in a role to be determined”.
