Kingsley

Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) has nabbed Vizeum Melbourne general manager Wade Kingsley for the newly created role of head of ideas and integration.

Kingsley is returning to radio two years after leaving Nova Entertainment, where he had the role of ideas director for two years. He joined Vizeum as general manager and head of business in July 2013.

He joins the broadcaster as it looks to rebuild after a difficult idea in the Sydney market which saw its 2DayFM station fall from first to last in the ratings after the departure of Kyle Sandilands and Jackie Henderson to rival KiisFM. Earlier this week SCA CEO Rhys Holleran announced he is stepping down in July.

This is a huge and onerous task. The rebuild is not only about ideas, it’s about rebuilding an organisation and repairing a seriously damaged internal environment and reconnecting with audience and sponsors/partners/clients. Sincerely, good luck.
