Peter Wiltshire, director of sales and marketing said Hinshelwood would be leaving for “personal reasons”.

“Mark is returning to Melbourne and unfortunately it is imperative that the leader of our sports sales department, an area so critical for Nine, operates out of the Sydney head office,” Wiltshire said.

Hinshelwood has previously worked across both the Melbourne and Sydney markets for more than eight years. He has spent the last three and a half years as network sports sales director.

Paterson will move into the same role with the new title of head of sports sales.

Hinshelwood’s last day with the network will be July 31.

A search for Paterson’s replacement in Melbourne is underway.
