'You have to be excellent': former Nine CEO to lead ABC in new direction

Former Nine Entertainment CEO Hugh Marks will take over as managing director of the ABC.

Hugh Marks, the former CEO of Nine Entertainment, has been appointed as the new managing director of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). Marks, who led Nine through a period of significant digital transformation and content strategy overhaul, replaces David Anderson, whose tenure was marked by both achievements and controversies. The appointment comes at a critical time for the ABC, as it faces challenges related to funding, digital competition, and maintaining its public service remit.

His appointment has been met with mixed reactions, with some praising his commercial acumen, while others express concern over potential shifts in the ABC's traditional ethos.
