Matt Conway Appointed As Nine’s AFL Executive Producer

Nine has appointed Matt Conway to the role of AFL executive producer.

Conway’s new role will see him work closely with Nine’s print, radio and digital platforms to drive the AFL brand.

He will take responsibility for all Nine’s AFL productions and content including The Sunday Footy Show and Footy Classified, along with a suite of additional digital programming to be launched this season.

Nine’s director of sport Brent Williams confirmed the appointment in an email to staff.

He said: “Matt has been an integral member of the Nine News team since 2010 as the producer of our nightly 6pm News bulletin in Melbourne. He’s also been involved in Nine’s election coverages and produced the Nine News digital program ‘The Rundown’.

“A passionate Hawthorn fan and sports lover, Matt has been involved in News coverage of the World Cup in Brazil and has played an important role in Nine’s Australian Open coverage over the last two years.”

Conway will report directly to Williams as Nine brings all of its AFL content under the Wide World of Sports banner.

Meanwhile, Mitchell Jones has been appointed to the role of AFL digital producer.

Willaims said: “Mitch is no stranger to Nine having previously been involved with the AFL Footy Show as social producer and has worked at the North Melbourne football club in their digital department.

“Mitch will be charged with developing and producing AFL programming and content that will live on our digital platforms.

“I welcome both Matt and Mitchell to the Wide World of Sports family and wish them both well in their new roles.”
