Job losses come amid streamlining of its broadcast and streaming operations
Australia’s Nine Network is cutting around 50 jobs amid a restructuring of its broadcast and streaming operations.
The cuts are part of a move to reorganise the company’s creative, marketing and editorial divisions at streamer Stan, broadcaster Channel Nine and sibling BVoD 9Now.
Duplicated roles are being removed with affected staff set to be told this week, according to local reports, while some staff may be redeployed into other positions.
Nine, which employees around 2,900 people across its streaming and broadcast operations, overhauled its business at the start of the year by creating a single entity housing streaming and broadcasting.
Former Binge chief Amanda Laing was installed at the same time and she appointed a new team to oversee operations across the business in June.
The company said today’s cuts were as a result of role “impacted by our new operating model.”
“Our primary focus during the consultation is supporting these team members through access to our employee wellbeing provider, as well as exploring redeployment opportunities within the broader Nine Group,” the company added.
Nine last reduced its staff count in 2024, trimming 85 jobs to save more than A$30m. It is aiming to find cost efficiency savings of more than $100m by the end of 2027.
