Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- MediaWorks returned to NZ$3.8 million profit in April 2026, reversing FY24 losses.
- August 2026 sale to SEG values MediaWorks at NZ$130 million, validating asset quality.
- MediaWorks won audience and sales momentum through 2026 brand campaigns, partnerships, and leadership hires.
What critics are saying
- MediaWorks cut up to 90 roles on 20 January 2026, signaling fragile economics.
- Spotify, Google, and Meta keep draining audio ad budgets from rova and radio.
- SEG's A$87.6 million debt-financed purchase creates pressure for synergies by October 2026.
What makes Media Works unique
- New Zealand's number-one audio business, with The Rock, More FM, and rova.
- Bundles radio, podcast, digital, and outdoor through one sales motion across MediaWorks.
- The 2026 SEG sale preserves a national platform with existing management, led by Wendy Palmer.
