Reid is now in a role across News Corp and the newly merged Foxtel Fox Sports business
Foxtel, Fox Sports and Foxtel is a big job.
Point taken – duly amended! Thanks AA
Cheers,

Patrick gets the CEO gig, after on his watch allowed Optus to outbid Foxtel for the EPL rights. Foxsports then loosing the rights for rugby league. Now his suddenly become a Fan of Domestic Australian cricket rights? ? Tell that to another 154 Staff whom left Foxtel last fortnight.
And I hear that the Finance team is heading for a shake up with the CFO with no financial skills Gavin Dumsday finally leaving .
Good to see the changes in the executive team … too much money spent on exec salaries . Integrating the roles smart . FOXTEL spent a lot of time cutting costs of its junior staff whilst treating its exec team like Royalty . The disaster of bringing in Mark Buckman and Deanne Weir on the big $$ with their big egos is becoming a distant memory except for the loyal staff that got in their way .
