More Seven casualties: TV boss Angus Ross and COO Trent Dickeson depart Southern Cross
Angus Ross and Trent Dickeson
Angus Ross, group managing director of Seven TV, and chief operating officer Trent Dickeson have both left Southern Cross Austereo, the latest in a series of personnel changes that have favoured former SCA staff over Seven staff since the two merged in January.
Seb Rennie has been appointed as the merged entity’s chief commercial officer, while Stephen Haddad will be chief operating officer.
Rennie joined SCA in February 2023 as Listnr’s executive head of commercial before becoming the audio network’s chief commercial officer that May, replacing Brian Gallagher, who later joined Nine Radio.
SCA doing to Seven what they did to Austereo. Clearing out the experience to make way for the budget-friendly. I thought it would take a little longer to be honest, but I guess they want to clear those golden handshakes and entitlements in this financial year.
Sad to see the final decline of Seven. The writing had been on the wall for years.
