Troubled radio and TV broadcaster Southern Cross Austereo has hired Nick McKechnie to replace Peter Lewis as chief financial officer, a month after Peter Lewis quit the role after just a few weeks.

McKechnie has held finance jobs at Virgin Media in the UK, and for the last seven years has been head of finance at ConnectEast, the company which manages the Melbourne tollway.
