Carrie Bickmore's TV Comeback Looms After Merger
27 Feb
Summary
- Carrie Bickmore may return to television following a major media merger.
- The merger involves Southern Cross Media and Network Seven.
- The deal aims to leverage radio talent for television and vice versa.

Carrie Bickmore, 45, is reportedly on the cusp of a television comeback, fueled by the recent merger between Southern Cross Media (SCM) and Network Seven. Bickmore previously left Channel Ten in 2022 after a high-profile exit from The Project. Her current Hit Network show is owned by SCM, intensifying speculation about her potential return to the Seven network.
This significant merger, valued between $385 million and $400 million, is expected to foster a synergistic relationship between the two media giants. Insiders suggest that SCM aims to leverage its well-known radio talent, including Bickmore, Fifi Box, and Mick Molloy, for Seven's television offerings. Concurrently, Seven's television stars, such as Sonia Kruger and Larry Emdur, might find opportunities within SCM's radio stations.
The integration of these media groups could lead to significant shifts in programming and talent utilization across both radio and television platforms. This development follows a period of uncertainty for some Seven stars, with earlier reports indicating potential job changes following the merger's initial discussions last October.
