This could be an interesting development, and one that could certainly test the theory that Fairfax is a 'left-wing' media company.
The first big cross-media deal has taken place. Macquarie Media is to acquire Southern Cross Broadcasting, and sell several assets - most notably the metro stations 2UE, 3AW, 4BC and 6PR. SCB has a noted record for centre-right commentary and talkback - Neil Mitchell has for many years been John Howard's interviewer of choice.
Can we expect a change in the editorial line now that 3AW and the others are in the same stable as The Age and SMH?
