The new company will include Nine's free-to-air television network, Fairfax's radio interests and mastheads—including The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age in Melbourne—and a suite of digital assets.
It will be called Nine, with Fairfax ceasing to exist, drawing the curtain on a venerable brand that has been an Australian staple for more than 170 years.
