Today the Federal court has ruled in favour of the merger between Nine and Fairfax, the final step for the two companies to become one.

Macquarie Media has launched its first national program, Macquarie Weekly, hosted by Justin Smith.
 
With a focus on news and current affairs, the program is live each Sunday on 2GB, 3AW, 4BC and 6PR and will look at the news of the week through the eyes and ears of the presenters, journalists and listeners of Macquarie Radio.
 

Macquarie Media has released its annual results with growth in Net Profit After Tax of $21.5 million up $4.2 million, or 24% on last year.

As reported last week on radioinfo, Fairfax Media, currently in merger talks with the Nine Network, is a major shareholder with 54% of shares, but Macquarie Media controls the daily operations of the company.

“Revive 4BC and 4BH as strong, locally sourced radio stations” says the heading on the change.org petition started by Brisbane based blogger and radio fan Adrian Cutts.

At this year's Tamworth Country Music Festival, Troy Cassar-Daly was selected for the industry’s most prestigious award - the Australasian Country Music Roll of Renown.

He is the 50th recipient since the Roll was inaugurated in 1976.
 

Troy’s wife, 4KQ’s Laurel Edwards and children, Clay and Gem (pictured below) were in Tamworth alongside him to accept the award which came as a complete surprise to the family.
