More changes at the ABC since Kim Williams’ appointment as chair of the public broadcaster with a standalone Audio division to put radio content at the forefront of the ABC’s future.
The ABC has reversed its recent organisational restructure, carving out a standalone audio division just 16 months after the public broadcaster brought all of its functions under two streams.
“This new team reasserts Audio as a vital part of the ABC’s future and a key tenet of our connection with all Australians,” he said. The latest move winds back the decision announced in May last year, which brought ABC’s regional bureau staff into the News division and created a standalone content team to future-proof the broadcaster’s output.
“This consolidation allowed the team to make considerable progress in the ongoing renewal of our audio output. Over the past 16 months we have reshaped the Audio leadership team and created lasting collaborative relationships with the Content division,” he said.The U-turn is the latest change at the ABC since new chair Kim Williams joined the broadcaster in March. Williams has placed an emphasis on ABC’s radio output, particularly Radio National, undertaking a review of the station’s operations.
