Nine Entertainment Co. Holdings Limited (trading as Nine Entertainment Co.) is an Australian publicly-listed media company with holdings in radio and television broadcasting, newspaper publications and digital media. The entity is largely a successor to the former Publishing and Broadcasting Limited (PBL), which was established by the Packer family.
Nine Entertainment was created as PBL Media to be the holding company for PBL’s media assets. The Packers officially ended their involvement with the company in 2008 and its name was changed to Nine in 2010. The company merged with Fairfax Media in December 2018, expanding its brands and investments across television, video on demand, print, digital, radio and real estate classifieds.
Currently, Nine’s assets include the Nine Network, Nine Radio, major newspaper mastheads such as The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Australian Financial Review, digital properties such as nine.com.au, 9Honey, Pedestrian.TV, subscription video platform Stan and majority investments in the Domain Group and CarAdvice.
