The Hit Network’s night time hosts Angus O’Loughlin and Emma Freedman will finish with The Hit 30 this week to take up new opportunities within Southern Cross Austereo.

Angus will return to Adelaide to join hit107’s breakfast show with Cat & Amos, while Emma will remain in Sydney to join The Grill Team on Triple M.

Southern Cross Austereo's  online sports coverage is up by 168%, year on year, with 134,000 Average Daily Unique Browsers (ADUB) across Triple M's AFL & NRL online coverage, according to Nielsen's* digital ratings for the month of August.
 
SCA was the #1 radio publisher online with its Unique Audience (UA) of 1,463,000 and 389,745 ADUBs.
 
For 11 consecutive months The Hit Network's digital platforms have been #1 in the radio business with a UA of 709,000 and stablemate Triple M sits at #2, UA 642,000. 

This weekend The Em Rusciano Radio Show on the Hit Network is dedicating the entire program to mental health issues on the eve of Mental Health Week next month.

Southern Cross Austereo has expanded its client solutions concept ‘The Studio at SCA’ into its Sydney premises.

Since the concept was launched in Melbourne earlier this year, The Studio at SCA has enabled its teams to develop some of the company’s most effective client campaigns. For many clients, it’s the first time they have come to SCA for cross-platform solutions and many are now thrilled with the impressive campaign results being delivered.

Southern Cross Austereo has confirmed from 15 December 2016 it will deliver a cohesive rebrand of its stable of regional radio stations.

SCA has confirmed the return of drive duo Hamish and Andy in 2017.

"It's completely business as usual for us with Hamish & Andy continuing on in drive in 2017. Absolutely no change," says an SCA spokesperson.

"They were never not going to not continue under their rolling agreement with SCA."

The pair were lured back to a Monday to Friday shift, after a scaling back their radio commitments in 2010, with a reported $4 million dollar salary each.

Triple M is to expand next year as thirty of SCA's regional stations currently under the LocalWorks network will be "brought into the Triple M family."

That's according to the company's 2016 Annual Report which radioinfo saw earlier today.

According to the report, the move will "... deliver cohesive impact and greater overall brand value".

The new site will see Scoopla.com expand its editorial offering beyond its celebrity and pop culture origins to include new verticals across Food, Tech and Travel - categories that the entertainment platform's female audience are highly engaged with.  

Scoopla creates original content daily and by plugging into SCA's Hit Network on-air, talent and social assets is able to offer an enhanced entertainment experience for its fans via strengthened editorial, video and audio.
