With the start of the new year, we take a look back at the top 25 media personalities who stood out in the Australian media landscape in 2015.
DARREN WICK
Head of News and Current Affairs, Nine Network
As news and current affairs continues to spread across the Nine schedule, so too does the influence of Darren Wick. The division pumps out around 10.5 hours daily on weekdays plus the growing importance of the still newish 9news.com.au. Part of the primetime news success has been the help it got from Eddie McGuire and The Hot Seat at 5.30pm weekdays. That news lead-in has been challenged recently by Seven’s The Chase Australia which has made an impact to the 6pm news ratings. How Nine uses Karl Stefanovic in the future too could be key to the division’s performance.
