TV industry veteran David Leckie says he intends to seek another role in the media industry when his 13-year tenure at the Seven Network ends in late July 2016. Seven usurped the Nine Network – Leckie’s previous employer for more than two decades – as Australia’s top-rating free-to-air network during his tenure, which included a stint as CEO. Leckie remains upbeat about the outlook for traditional media, arguing that so-called "digital disruption" has in fact led to increased interest in broadcast TV.
