Southern Cross Austereo-owned radio network Triple M has announced the promotion of Scott Menz to music director for Brisbane.

Menz was previously the executive producer of Triple M Brisbane’s breakfast show – a role he has held for three years.

Alongside his new role as music director, Menz will retain his duties as assistant content director.

Menz replaces Ben Wood as Triple M Brisbane’s music director, who recently moved south to take on a new gig as operations manager at Triple M Melbourne.

Prior to working at Triple M Brisbane, Menz has held roles at Nova in Melbourne, Star 104.5 on the NSW Central Coast and Triple M Adelaide.

Rex Morris, content director at Triple M Brisbane, said: “Scott works brilliantly with all personality types both on and off the air, and enjoys a deep respect from all his team members.

“He has been an integral part of the show’s most recent record-breaking success, and so this promotion is richly deserved.”

Menz’s promotion tops off a big couple of weeks for Triple M, with the station and its breakfast show both topping the most recent radio ratings for the first time in 12 years.
