Nine appoints Brian Gallagher to lead revamped radio sales division

Nine has appointed Brian Gallagher as the commercial director of audio, as it restructures the sales arm of its radio division.

From July 1, Gallagher, the current chair of Boomtown and former chief sales officer at Southern Cross Austereo, will lead a newly formed audio sales team at Nine Radio, with the media company unwinding some of the consolidation that has occurred over recent years.

In January, Nine split into three consumer-focused divisions — streaming and broadcast; publishing; and marketplaces — lead by an eight-person executive team.
