Australia’s Nine Entertainment has appointed a senior executive from regional television network WIN Corporation to its board.
Chris Halios-Lewis is the chief financial officer (CFO) and chief operating officer at WIN. He also serves as CFO at Birketu, the private company owned by billionaire Bruce Gordon, who also owns WIN and is the largest individual shareholder in Nine, holding a 25% stake in the media group.
Halios-Lewis becomes the second WIN senior executive to be included on the Nine board, joining CEO Andrew Lancaster, who has served as a Nine director since 2021.
Last month, Nine agreed to sell its TV news station in Northern New South Wales, NBN Television, to WIN for A$15.8m(US$10.9m). Under the deal, NBN will continue to broadcast Nine’s signal in the northern NSW licence area, including Newcastle, under an affiliate agreement for a term of at least five years.
