Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) has appointed a new head of regional content, with Blair Woodcock taking on the role effective 10 May.
As well as leading SCA’s regional content and initiatives across 70 regional Hit and Triple M stations, Woodcock is also joining the content leadership team at the network.
SCA had been advertising for the role since March, with Woodcock appointed after 13 years with the network.

Woodcock will be the first to serve in the role since current SCA head of music Mickey Maher ended his five-year tenure in 2019. At that time, a leadership restructure saw Maher transition into a head of music role for Triple M, eventually becoming head of music for both networks.
Ahead of tomorrow’s radio ratings release, Radio Today
, casts a closer eye over that 3pm hour. What’s really going on in that key commercial and content battleground, and why is it so important?
3pm means different things to different people. For some, it might be the ringing of the bell, another relentless day of learning your times tables giving way to the prospect of two-minute noodles and some sneaky iPad time before the crushing blow of homework falls down upon you. For others, it’s the moment you consistently realise you need to leave home or work earlier to get your times-tables-loathing child from the school gate and take them home for the never-ending tug-of-war between post-school relaxing and the realities of getting shit done.
Tomorrow’s the big day. Take a breath. It’s that time again. Survey 1 of a new calendar year.
In Survey 1 of 2020, there were some notable numbers movements – the ABC’s duo of Wendy Harmer and Robbie Buck, for example, had a bigger share in 10+ than Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’, an unusual, if unsustainable, phenomenon. In Melbourne, Christian O’Connell got back on top of FM Breakfast, and Robin Bailey’s revival at 97.3FM in Brisbane wasn’t enough to get the station to the top.
Despite the milestones, the survey wasn’t game-changing, and it was the disruption which would come later in the year which would define radio ratings in 2020. COVID-19 led to changes in consumer behaviour, job losses and stand-downs across the industry, and the pause of radio ratings.
