NOVA announces key changes to programming team
NOVA Entertainment has made a number of key changes to its programming team, including the promotion of Brendan Taylor to group programming director of the Nova Network.
Taylor has spent over fifteen years in the business, having been with Nova since 2008 in various roles across content strategy, production, music, and talent management. He was most recently head of Nova’s group program operations.
NOVA Entertainment’s CEO Peter Charlton said he was “thrilled” to promote Taylor.
“Brendan’s skill and breadth of experience are second-to-none and, having been in our business for over fifteen years, his full list of achievements is almost too long to list,” he said.
“Brendan has been instrumental in creating broadcast output that millions of listeners enjoy and that brands want to be a part of, so this new role is recognition of Brendan’s hard work, dedication and talent.”
As a result of Taylor’s promotion, current head of programming at Melbourne’s Nova100, David McClung, will step into the role of group program operations and commercial integration director, while Sonder Novak-Booth will take over from McClung as Nova100 program director.
“The announcements of David and Sonder are extremely exciting for our programming team,” said Taylor.
“David McClung’s leadership experience and dedication to the business over the last 16 years made his promotion the most natural choice, and I’m sure will be well received by the industry at large.
“Sonder is a passionate advocate for broadcast and talent development, and paired with her in-depth show management experience, this made her a stand-out for the lead programming role in Melbourne.
“Her appointment, along with David’s promotion, reflects the strength of programming at Nova and the exciting future that awaits the wider network.”
