“At Seven we are constantly looking at the speed of change in our marketplace and asking ourselves what we have to do to keep pace with it,” he said.

“This is not a 12-month plan. This is a path that keeps us number one until 2020.”

2016 Olympics in Rio, the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast and the 2020 Olympics in
Tokyo along with the Winter Olympics in between will be delivered on all platforms by us. We own
them and we will use them with one objective in mind – to enhance the story telling like never
before.”
