Radio Today

Radio Today is the leading website for the Australian and New Zealand radio industry, and we are independently measured by Nielsen Market Intelligence, and audited by the Audit Bureaux of Australia.

We started Radio Today because we believe the radio industry deserves a resource that not only reports the ‘what’ and the ‘who’, but also the ‘why’ and the ‘how’. A resource offering compelling, thought-provoking and actionable content from people with deep, exceptional and contemporary experience at the highest levels.

We believe in robust strategy. We believe in high calibre execution. We believe in crafting. We believe in developing talent. We believe in engaging you in conversation. 

Radio Today is not a monologue, rather a dialogue, and whether you work in the largest competitive markets, the smallest regional markets, or are involved in the industry in some other way; you have a role to play in this dialogue and we encourage you to do so.

The Editor, and part-owner, of Radio Today is Mark Hales.

Mark is a highly experienced radio programmer, having worked in two metropolitan markets for both the Austereo and Nova Network. 

As Editor, Mark drives the content and analysis on Radio Today, and his contact details are below;
