SCA Chief Content Officer, Dave Cameron, has announced that Ewan Giles has been appointed to the newly created role of Head of Sport Content – Live and On Demand, as the company expands its sports content on Triple M and LiSTNR.
He will work with the Triple M broadcast and LiSTNR content teams to execute SCA’s total sport strategy, as well as oversee Triple M Melbourne and Victoria’s Rush Hour with JB & Billy Drive show and Saturday’s Dead Set Legends show.
Giles has had a long career at SCA, beginning as an announcer on Triple M Melbourne and SA FM before moving into sports-producing roles for SCA’s AFL and NRL broadcasts, and as AFL Content Director.
There will be a new structure under Giles, with Michael James becoming Senior Manager – Sport (Live and On Demand), executing SCA’s sports content on-air and on-demand, including LiSTNR original podcasts, The Howie Games, Rusty’s Garage and On Her Game with Sam Squiers. He reports to Giles.
James joined SCA in 2014 as a Digital Content Producer and has developed Triple M’s social media strategy, produced Triple M AFL Footy and was Executive Producer on Triple M’s Hot Breakfast.
Reporting to James will be Jeremy Hartcher as Senior Executive Producer – LiSTNR Sport and Tom Dullard as Executive Producer – LiSTNR Sport.
“It’s an incredibly exciting time for sport at SCA, with multiple-year broadcast rights agreements with the AFL, NRL and Cricket Australia, as well as our compelling suite of on-demand products, including Australia’s No. 1 sports podcast*, The Howie Games,” Dave Cameron said.
“Our on-demand output will only continue to increase and Ewan’s promotion is well deserved, and I can’t wait to see what he brings to our leading sports content slate.”
All appointments are effective immediately.
