Former Seven exec joins Nine Perth

Graeme Hill, formerly Programming Manager at Seven Melbourne, has been appointed as Programming, Marketing and Communications Manager for Channel Nine Perth.

Hill, who departed Seven twelve months ago after 33 years with the network, has held senior executive positions in programming, marketing, promotions, sponsorship management and publicity.

“I am very excited to be joining Nine Network Perth in this role and can’t wait to get started,” he said.

From November 23 he replaces Wendy McKillop after two years in the role who now returns to Sydney, and joins former Seven Perth manager Ray Wardrop, who replaced David Mott as managing director.

“Hillie and I have worked closely together for many years from opposite sides of the country and to now have him as part of my team in Perth is a great opportunity for us. He is highly regarded by his peers and colleagues and possesses great creativity and passion for the television business,” said Ray Wardrop.

Michael Healy, Director of Television for Nine Entertainment Co., said: “Graeme brings to the Nine Network a wealth of knowledge and experience in programming and marketing and I personally welcome him to the Nine team. He’ll be a great asset to us.”
