Southern Cross Media (ASX:SXL), the audio and broadcasting group, is the subject of activist engagement from Sandon Capital. In August 2026, Sandon said SXL's results showed audio remains the least challenged traditional media outlet, while the poor reputation of former Seven West Media assets proved accurate. Sandon reported the company cut FY26 revenue guidance, and noted the chairman's retirement soon after Sandon lodged notices with the company. In December 2025, Seven West Media shareholders approved its acquisition by Southern Cross. Southern Cross Media operates in the Communication Services sector within the Media industry, and Thesis Tracker has captured 10 comments from 2 fund managers, including Sandon Capital. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in South Melbourne, Southern Cross operates the Hit and Triple M radio networks, the LiSTNR digital audio platform and, after acquiring Seven West Media, the Seven Network, 7plus and West Australian Newspapers.
