The Seven Network has today announced the appointment of Chris Salter as the Director of News in Seven Melbourne.
Mr Salter, who has been 7NEWS Adelaide News Director since June 2018, will succeed former new boss Shaun Menegola who recently announced his departure from the network earlier this month.
Seven Network Director of News and Current Affairs and Seven West Media Editor-in-Chief, Anthony De Ceglie, said:
“Chris has done an amazing job in Adelaide, where 7NEWS has been #1 for more than 13 years.
“I’m really pleased that he has agreed to take this new role and I know he is going to make a huge mark on 7NEWS Melbourne as we endeavour to think differently about the future of our platforms.”
New Seven Melbourne Director of News Chris Salter said:
“I can’t wait to roll up my sleeves and get to work alongside the many brilliant people who make up the Melbourne newsroom.
“We’ll work hard for the people of Victoria to produce broadcast and digital offerings that inform and entertain. We’ll be the true voice of Victoria.”
The news of the appointment in Melbourne today follows the news that Seven confirmed the hiring of Channel 9 Sydney Bureau Chief Gemma Williams as the new Executive Producer of its Sunday current affairs program 7NEWS Spotlight.
