Background

About Rex Morris

I’m a broadcasting leader, innovator, and Content Director with nearly three decades of experience at Australia’s premier radio group, Southern Cross Austereo (SCA). Over my 22-year tenure as an executive, I’ve held pivotal roles that have helped shape the radio landscape across Australia and beyond. In while leading Brisbane's B105, I earned the title of Australian Commercial Radio’s Program Director of the Year. My leadership journey continued as I managed the Brisbane duopoly for SCA (2003–2005) and later served as Group Program Director for the Triple M network (2006–2008). My expertise has also taken me internationally. I had the privilege of consulting for Astro Radio in Malaysia, where I played an instrumental role in developing English language music formats and eventually spearheaded strategies for the company’s vernacular formats in Malay, Mandarin, Cantonese, Tamil, and Hindi. In 2008, I embraced a new challenge by transitioning into radio ownership with a business partner. Together, through our venture, Resonate Broadcasting we successfully acquired multiple radio stations in Australia, including an AM/FM combo in Charters Towers and an AM station in Warragul. We expanded the network in 2012 with the addition of 4LG and West FM in Longreach, Queensland, and further grew in 2015 by incorporating stations in Roma, Charleville, Kingaroy, Emerald, Mt Isa, and the 4BD/4EM duo. In recent years, I’ve continued to drive success within SCA. As the leader of Triple M Brisbane in 2018, I guided the station to its first-ever number one spot for breakfast and overall in 17 years, followed by the highest cumulative audience figure in the station’s history in 2019. As the Content Director at Triple M Sydney, my leadership contributed to the station recording its highest cumulative audience in 17 years in Survey 5 2022. I remain a passionate advocate for innovation, creativity, and strategic leadership in broadcasting, continually setting new benchmarks for success in an ever-evolving industry.
