Triple M Brisbane appoints new content director

Southern Cross Austereo has appointed a new content director for Triple M Brisbane.

Promoting from within, assistant CD Scott Menz will oversee the station from October 18.

“I’m incredibly thrilled to be leading a team of brilliant people, on and off the air, at Triple M Brisbane,” said Menz on his appointment.

“This station’s history of success in Brisbane is not lost on me, so I consider myself lucky to steer the ship into 2020 and beyond.”

Menz replaces Rex Morris, who SCA last week confirmed would replace Jamie Angel as the network’s Sydney content boss.

Menz has been with Triple M Brisbane since 2013 and worked as both executive producer of the Big Breakfast and, more recently, as the assistant content director under Morris.

“You’d be hard-pressed to find a more passionate radio guy than Scott Menz,” Triple M network head Mike Fitzpatrick.

“He’s been involved in this industry since before he’d even left primary school.

“I have no doubt Triple M Brisbane is in very capable hands with Scott.”

In the most recent radio ratings, Triple M Brisbane was the third most listened to station in the competitive music market, with an 11% share of the available audience.
