Australia's screen queen

Article Abstract:

Despite the distraction of takeover bids, Eva Presser's television network Sunraysia Television has profited from regional television concerns. In 1985, she bought STV-8, her first regional television station, and sold it in 1989 for $18 million. Sunraysia bought Perth station STW-9 for $95 million, a price later felt to be too high. Through refinancing and clever management techniques, STW-9 profits have increased by more than 100% since 1995. Sunraysia recorded a half-year ending February 1999 profit of $4.55 million.
