Hugh Marks resigns as CEO of Nine. Hopefully doesn't change anything, he was saying all the right things last week.
One of the front runners identified to replace him is Mike Sneesby, current CEO of Stan, who was pivotal in the rugby union broadcast deal and had this to say last week:
“Rugby Australia is making bold moves in the development of the sport – something that fits perfectly with what we do at Stan,” he said.
“This partnership with Rugby Australia will see Stan launch its live streaming capability in 2021, as we take Australian sports television into a new era. Through the combined audience reach and engagement across Nine’s television platforms, we are well positioned to bring Rugby Union to more Australians than ever before.”
