SCA and Seven West Media propose merger
Seven and SCA have proposed a merger.
Audio company Southern Cross Austereo and television and publishing network Seven West Media have announced plans to merge.
The deal would bring a number of major Australian media properties under one roof.
Seven West Media owns the Seven television network, a number of regional TV licences, plus The West Australian, The Sunday Times, and the Community Newspaper Group — which publishes 23 community newspapers in Perth. It also owns The Nightly, a digital-only publication aimed at the eastern states.
Southern Cross Austereo brings Triple M’s 45 radio stations, and the Hit Network’s 41 stations, including Melbourne’s The Fox, and Sydney’s 2DayFM. It also owns the Listnr audio platform, which became profitable during 2024.
