Australia Today with Steve Price will be broadcast on nine regional Triple M stations from the end of this month, replacing the Ray Hadley Morning Show, as we foreshadowed last week.

As SCA's LiSTNR app gains momentum, SCA Chief Sales Officer Brian Gallagher has appointed a new sales leadership structure for digital audio.

SCA has begun a trade marketing campaign for its recently launched LiSTNR app.

At a function last night in Sydney, CEO Grant Blackley said the new app “solves the problem of having to use multiple apps for audio consumption.”

LiSTNR brings audiences music, live radio and podcasts on the one app, putting it into the market with iHeartRadio and ahead of the ABC’s Listener app, which delivers live radio and podcasts but does not have music channels beyond its broadcast offerings such as Jazz, Country, Double J and Classic.

Blair Woodcock has been appointed SCA’s Head of Content - Regional. 

Three of Southern Cross Austereo's metro breakfast shows have had major changes this year, more than in any other network.

Last week SCA CEO Grant Blackley told radioinfo that the company is moving towards a 'digital audio first' strategy.

As part of that strategy, the company has announced two changes at the top of the leadership team, following the launch of its new platform LiSTNR.
