Australia’s WTFN Reshuffles With Co-Founder Daryl Talbot Moving To Exec Director & Wes Crook Named CEO


'Bondi Vet' producer WTFN has reshuffled its management pack, with co-founder Daryl Talbot moving out of the CEO seat to become Executive Director.

WTFN is best known for Australian unscripted shows such as Bondi Vet, Sydney Harbour Force, The Hunters, Emergency and Space Invaders, but also operates in international distribution through subsidiary Fred Media and digital vendor Radar. Talbot, a former Nine Network producer and news reporter, launched WTFN with former gameshow host Oemcke in 2003, and they have gone on to build one of Australia ‘s most prolific independent production and distribution operations.
