Regional broadcaster Prime Media Group is down $44.44 million in the last twelve months after being hit by the downturn in advertising.
Revenue rose 5.5 per cent to $278.86m.
In the previous twelve months its profit was $14.53m.
According to AAP, CEO Warwick Syphers said Prime’s core regional television operations had performed solidly, buoyed by the continuing strong performance of Seven Network programming.
Prime, which includes a radio arm, added that revenue for regional television is down of 5.3% across the board, but flagged signgs of improvement.
Syphers indicated the group was positioned to perform strongly as the economic outlook improved.

Many TV companies around the world are reporting losses this year. That doesn’t mean they all start dumping local news. Like Seven stations, Prime’s news is no doubt a strong contribution to their ratings
Seven has just released their end of year report. Check out the numbers at Seven Corporate.
I think you’re lucky to get any regional news on Prime
the news in the markets they have got must be costing them huge amounts of $$$ i wonder if they have looked at the WIN and Sth X models of either doing just updates or centralising their readers…they have already flicked the production people to save money…this can’t be good at all
I don’t suppose we’ll ever get widescreen local news from Prime Albury now.
