Chatfield Sells DCL Shares

Jeff Chatfield has announced his sale of 18.1 per cent of shares in Data and Commerce Ltd (operators of Melbourne radio stations 3AK and 3MP) to Radio Australia Pty Ltd, a private company associated with Brisbane-based Mike Norris. Norris started his career in Brisbane radio in the 1970s with Brisbane AM station, 4BH, which at that stage was the bottom rating station in Brisbane. "In just over two years, Radio 4BH rose in the ratings from number 8 to the number 2 radio station in Brisbane," Mr Chatfield said this afternoon. Mr Norris says he wishes to have 'open dialogue' with the current board of DCL (which is headed by Ron Hall), and that he hopes he can assist with radio experience to add shareholder value to DCL.
