The other companies involved in the Nine Fairfax merger
The merger of Nine Entertainment and Fairfax Media will inevitably see the coming together of Australia’s biggest media brands. But the takeover doesn’t just include the big names – such as The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and the main television network, Nine. Zoe Samios explores which other media brands are involved in the deal.
This morning, Nine Entertainment and Fairfax Media announced the merging of the two businesses. Once the transaction has been finalised, the Fairfax Media brand will be absorbed into Nine.
Fairfax Media CEO Greg Hywood (L) and Nine CEO Hugh Marks (R) announced the news this morning
But it’s not just Nine and Fairfax Media’s main mastheads – The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Australian Financial Review – or regional titles, involved in this. Both players have investments and joint ventures across the broader media landscape.
Nine CEO Hugh Marks Nine will put its weight behind growth assets within the new company flagging that some media brands or parts of the business may not survive.

Hi Names,
You are most correct. Thank you for flagging. We have amended.
Apologies to both Greg and Hugh for the error (although I suspect/hope they were too pre-occupied yesterday to notice!)
Thanks,
Vivienne – Mumbrella
Are there a few more? I may be a bit out of touch, I think they may also have stakes / ownership of: Oneflare, Alluremedia (Lifehacker, Gizmodo and Kotaku), RSVP, Oasis and Weatherzone.
Good spot that one Solely!
