Graham Mott general manager at Southern Cross continued in his role as general manager of the broadcast radio group under Fairfax. In 1977 an agreement was made with the TAB by the station's owners to broadcast races in conjunction with a personality/sport format.

Shares in Nine were up 2¢ to $1.895 at 9.50am. 2GB host Ray Hadley reassured his morning listeners that he had never experienced interference from any employer, naming the Lamb family and Southern Cross at 2UE, and John Singleton and Fairfax Media at 2GB. That momentum peaked in mid-2019, when the duo ranked second in the overall breakfast ratings for the first time since 1984. It needs shareholders with holdings worth 90 per cent to accept its $1.46-a-share all-cash offer for the deal for the remaining 45.5 per cent to proceed. In December 1994 6PR was purchased by Southern Cross Broadcasting which also owned Melbourne's number one rating talk station 3AW and television stations in Adelaide, Canberra and other places. In 2005 the A-League was created and Perth Glory was announced as one of the eight franchise teams. Currently the station is one of the more successful AM radio stations in Perth, often along with 720 ABC Perth battling for the number one station on AM radio. The station has also covered matches from the West Australian Football League. 6PR, known as 882 6PR, is a commercial radio station based in Perth, Australia.Its focus is on news, talk and sport, and is Perth's only commercial talkback radio station. Some matches are broadcast on-relay from sister stations 3AW in Melbourne, FIVEaa in Adelaide and AFL Nation from Crocmedia. The signal was broadcast from the Applecross Wireless Station. During World War II 6PR set up a triple diversity receiving station at the home of George Moss, its only studio technician at Mount Lawley.

Macquarie Media has recommended the offer, which represents a 16.3 per cent discount to its share price since August 2. However, after the A-League's inaugural season in 2005/2006 6PR announced it would stop broadcasting the Perth Glory, the takeover of Perth Glory by Football Federation Australia is believed to have contributed to 6PR's decision. Nine chief executive Hugh Marks told staff in an email that staff across the business would be able to collaborate despite differences between Macquarie Media’s conservative radio stars and Nine’s liberal-leaning papers. [1][2] 6PR was founded by Electrical and Music warehouse company Nicholson's Limited, which operated the station from a studio above its music showroom at 86 Barrack Street. This move allowed 6PR to serve its two distinct audiences, those who listened purely for a talkback/news/current affairs format and those who listened just for racing information, in a more comprehensive manner. Radio 6PR's mighty Breakfast team of Basil Zempilas and Steve Mills will be no more in 2021. Mr Marks said bringing Macquarie Media in house would generate more than $10 million in annualised cost savings and build on the platform created by its combination with Fairfax. 6PR provides hourly news (half-hour during breakfast), traffic and weather bulletins.
