Nine Radio promotes Anthony Smyth to new commercial director role

Nine Radio has kicked the year off by promoting Anthony Smyth to the newly-created, national role of commercial director of radio.

Smyth started with Macquarie Media, now Nine Radio after Nine’s acquisition of Macquarie, in 2012, holding roles including Victorian agency sales manager, Victorian sales director, and Melbourne’s head of sales.

In May last year, he became director of sales transformation, and in the new position will focus on “maximising the outcome for radio”, reporting to Nine’s director of sales across TV and radio, Richard Hunwick.
