Triple M axes award-winning sound designer after 30 years
Triple M imaging director Michael Andersen won 22 ACRA awards over a three-decade career before falling victim to the new broom apparently sweeping through the rock station.
The award-winning imaging director — the guy responsible for the station’s promos, sweepers, openers, jingles and sketches — was informed of his sacking over a 13-minute Zoom call this week. Andersen is the latest long-term employee to be let go at the station, following the shock sacking of Mark Geyer, after 17 years on-air.
Taking to Linkedin to express his disappointment, Andersen said “In just a few months, I was meant to celebrate 30 years at Triple M. But the universe had other ideas.”
Hi Michael
I don’t know you, but your comments above show that you are a humble, decent, hardworking and loyal fella.
Congrats on a great innings. It’s a shame that tenure and loyalty aren’t more rewarded, but I’m am sure your next step will be a good one.
Well done…enjoy your next chapter!
Sorry to hear it.
MMM needs to take a long hard look at itself, find some good talent from a country station or the like and get back to being a music station with proper talent. If Jonsey and Amanda are the best they can do, then they’re stuffed!
