Got it Share A A ANine Entertainment has struck a deal to sell Australia’s top-rating conservative talkback stations 2GB, 3AW, 4BC and 6PR to publican and pokies billionaire Arthur Laundy and his family for $56 million, marking a major transition in Australia’s media landscape. The company has also purchased outdoor media firm QMS for $850 million, using the proceeds of its recent sale of digital real estate firm Domain, it told the market on Friday morning. In the final radio ratings survey for 2025, 2GB was toppled as Sydney’s top station by SmoothFM, but in Melbourne, 3AW remained number one. The takeover of what was then Macquarie Media valued the radio network that was home to Alan Jones and Ray Hadley at $275.4 million.
