David Leckie: A distinguished legacy

Many of the people came out in rememberance of David. We just want to showcase a few of them. The Chairman of Seven West Media, Kerry Stokes, said “I had a close association and friendship with David for more than 20 years and finally enticed him to Seven in 2003, when he started the difficult process of turning around the network’s fortunes. David achieved the turnaround quickly and effectively, building a winning team, financial and programming model, which delivered us leadership of the TV industry for many years.”

They hailed David to be a person with immense knowledge over the TV industry. He knew what people wanted to watch and what they enjoyed. It has to be said that any person who is able to crack such notions is difficult to find.
