On February 12, 2026, industry sources indicated that local moguls, including Kerry Stokes, Gina Rinehart, and Andrew Forrest, are exploring the purchase of a stake in the Big Bash League's Perth Scorchers club, as the BBL considers moving into private hands. Previously, on February 11, Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) saw its audio business outperform its TV arm, referred to as its "new TV sibling" ahead of their merger, leading to a positive day on the Unmade Index for SCA. Earlier on February 10, Channel Seven attributed a $7 million revenue shortfall to two-day Ashes Test matches during the Australian summer, caused by England's capitulation in Perth and a challenging pitch in Melbourne. Also on February 10, Seven West Media delivered unaudited first-half FY26 results, reporting an EBITDA of $67 million for the six months ending December 31, 2025. This represented a 27% decrease from the prior corresponding period but aligned with previous guidance, as a softer advertising market in November and December impacted revenue despite improvements in 7plus and ratings.
