Nine to axe around 50 roles from its TV division

Nine has started cutting jobs across its streaming and broadcasting division, with approximately 50 roles to be impacted.

Nine’s TV boss Amanda Laing informed staff members of the cuts this morning, as part of the network’s $100 million cost-out program, which was reiterated at the network’s AGM last week.

Mumbrella understands there are approximately 50 roles impacted, however the number of cuts may be fewer, due to possible redeployment across the business.

On top of the redundancies, there are also some vacant roles which won’t be filled and contractual roles that won’t be renewed. Nine currently has approximately 2,900 people in the streaming and broadcasting division

Nine confirmed the cuts in an email sent to Mumbrella.

“We have today commenced consultation with some team members, whose roles within Nine’s Streaming and Broadcast division are impacted by our new operating model,” the statement reads.

“The new operating model formally brings together teams across Stan, Channel 9 and 9Now. It is designed to reduce duplication, drive greater collaboration and deliver commercial growth for Nine, while working to offset the challenging external advertising market.

“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 “duplication” mentioned in Nine’s statement is a result of the company restructure in January, which saw the streaming and broadcasting divisions come under one umbrella, with Stan no longer acting as a stand-alone business.

A new leadership team was appointed in June, with executives given expanded responsibilities across multiple brands. In addition, a lot of programming decisions are being made across Stan and Nine’s free-to-air channels, such as the expansion of MAFS to include a spin-off series on Stan, and the straddling of Premier League football across both platforms.

In a trading update released last Friday, Nine reported its Total TV revenue for September and October was “down mid-high single digits” year-on-year.

In response, the network increased its previously announced cost-out program for FY26 and FY27 from $90 million to $100 million.
