Matt Stanton Named Permanent CEO of Nine Entertainment

Stanton takes the helm following a six-month interim role, pledging transformation for Australia's largest media company.

Matt Stanton has been appointed as the permanent CEO of Nine Entertainment after serving as acting CEO since September 2024.
Stanton previously held the roles of Chief Financial Officer and Chief Strategy Officer at Nine before stepping into the interim leadership role.
The company faces challenges from a tough media environment, including competition from digital platforms and fluctuations in advertising markets.
A key early decision for Stanton will be whether to sell Nine's 60% stake in Domain, a real estate portal valued higher than Nine itself, amid shareholder interest in a sale.
Stanton has announced plans to cut $100 million in costs over two years and pursue a transformation agenda to position Nine for future success.
