ABC boss says 50 jobs to go in first big change
The ABC’s new managing director has confirmed a number of sweeping operational changes at the national broadcaster, resulting in the loss of at least 50 jobs.
Former Nine boss Hugh Marks, who took over the top role at the ABC in March, informed staff of the changes on Wednesday afternoon, in an email seen by Mumbrella.
Marks noted “the need to focus our effort and resources on essential, core content and services” in the announcement. The changes “will result in around 40 redundancies and around 10 fixed contracts ending early,” he said.
