Appointment comes months after David Anderson announced he would be stepping down
The national broadcaster confirmed this morning that Marks would start in the new year, replacing David Anderson.
The outgoing director announced this year that he would be stepping down from the role, months after being reappointed for a second five-year-term.from Nine in 2020, saying the time was right for him to “begin the process of moving on”, but he stayed in the role until 2021 while Nine searched for a replacement.
“Just because it’s possible, doesn’t mean you should do it. We should just focus : What is it that we can do well? How can we do it well? Focusing on those things and making choices to prioritise on the things that you can do well, I think, is a discussion we’re all going to have to have.
“Hugh was a stand-out candidate, not only for his experience across every facet of the media, but for his strong track record of leading media organisations and driving substantial and sustained audience engagement. He is the right person to lead the ABC as we plan right now for renewal and investment.
