Macquarie Media‘s National Executive Producer, Michael Thompson, will leave the company this Firday.

Michael started with 2GB on Ray Hadley‘s program before becoming his executive producer, and then 3 years ago moving into the national role overseeing the content across the news talk and sports talk formats.

Nines’s new Managing Director of Radio, Tom Malone says, “In the past 12 months, under Michael’s leadership, the company’s total cumulative audience has grown almost 10%.
 
“I first came to know Michael through my role at the Today Show when he was producing Ray and they won many awards together, and I’ve always enjoyed working with him. 
 
“I want to thank Michael for all of his hard work, professionalism and loyalty to Macquarie Media and wish him well as he explores opportunities beyond our business. He goes with all of our goodwill, and as it is in this business I look forward to seeing him back in some capacity in the future.”
