Jobs slashed at Macquarie Radio
The redundancies are beginning at the newly merged Macquarie Radio/Fairfax Radio Network, and whilst the exact number of people who will lose their jobs is unclear, what is clear is that it will be significant.
The leaks are coming thick and fast out of the company with Radio Today already having been contacted by numerous people affected.
At this time, there is no official comment, with Chairman Russell Tate only saying that their priority is to consult with staff, and clarify roles. He went on to say that the redundancies were likely to be forced, rather than voluntary.

Radio versus Pandora. The Challenge Ahead, The Hype and Some Facts
By Brad March
There is no doubt that Pandora is the biggest “radio” brand in the world today. That's if you define Pandora as “radio.” Over 80 million people worldwide can’t be wrong. Pandora is huge.
