HT&E has released its half yearly report, showing a 4% decrease in revenue, partly attributed to a softer radio market in Australia.
 
ARN revenue declined by 3.8% year on year to $115 million with a poor result in the first quarter before an improvement early in the second quarter and then a softening in May and June.
 

A study conducted last year by the US based organisation Consumer Watchdog found that Google and Alexa have patented a range of eavesdropping functions associated with their smart speakers. 
 
While the two companies file hundreds of patents each year and often do not take them to market, the patents reveal some of the thinking from Google and Amazon about how they might monetise the new smart speaker technology using data heard in houses and offices where smart speakers are present.

ARN CEO Ciaran Davis has told radioinfo that an article* in The Australian yesterday, speculating about a management buyout of HT&E is untrue.

ARN has extended its iHeartRadio license in Australia, providing millions of listeners with access to the free, all-in-one digital audio entertainment platform until 2036.

ARN’s Executive Team turned sous chefs for the night as they joined more than 200 of Australia’s industry leaders and corporate teams who created and served a gourmet dinner made with love, hope and generosity as part of Oz Harvest’s annual CEO Cookoff Event.

Here, There and Everywhere (HT&E) - best known to those in radio as ARN's parent company has released its full year report for the 12 months ending 31 December 2018.

A series of further management changes within HT&E and ARN’s corporate division have been announced, as the company moves towards a "simplified and reenergised Executive Leadership Team structure" across both businesses.

It was just over three years ago that then ARN CEO Ciaran Davis was bumped upstairs to head up the parent company APN. 
 
Much has changed since then. 
 
For a start APN is now called Here There and Everywhere (HT&E) and ARN has had two CEOs in that time.
