'''Bruce Gordon''' (born 4 February 1929 in [[Surry Hills, New South Wales|Surry Hills]], [[New South Wales]]<ref name="afr2015"/>) is an Australian businessman. He is the owner of the Australian television network, [[WIN Television]] through his ownership of [[WIN Corporation]], the largest shareholder of [[Network 10]] & the largest shareholder of the [[Nine Network]],<ref>{{Cite news |last=Windsor |first=Georgina |title= WIN Corp owner Bruce Gordon sues Nine over live-streaming of TV channels|newspaper= [[The Australian]] |date=11 February 2010 |url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/win-corp-owner-bruce-gordon-sues-nine-over-livestreaming-of-tv-channels/news-story/b6520b61e3d406418fec753d6d52fb1a |accessdate=4 June 2016}}</ref> and holds a significant stake in [[Nine Entertainment Co.]]<ref name="afr2017"/>


==Early life==
==Career==
From humble beginning, Gordon juggled fruit to lure customers into his father's street-side fruit stall. He continued to hone his magic skills into his 20s and gained his first performance at Sydney's [[Tivoli circuit]] theatre; later progressing onto management of the theatre. During this period he got to know [[Rupert Murdoch]], [[Frank Packer|Sir Frank Packer]] and his sons, [[Kerry Packer|Kerry]] and [[Clyde Packer|Clyde]], and [[Bruce Gyngell]].<ref name="afr2015"/>
Educated at Cleveland Street Public School, [[Surry Hills]], [[Sydney]], Bruce Gordon worked as a magician during the 1939-45 War, in promotion and later management for the [[Tivoli theatre circuit]]. He then went on to manage Australian and Far East sales for [[Desilu Studios]] (US comedian [[Lucille Ball]] and [[Desi Arnaz]]'s production house),which was later taken over by [[Paramount Pictures]]. He later serviced as Vice President and then President for Paramount Television International Distribution. He worked at Paramount International Television for 35 years.


In 1962, Gordon was appointed the Australasian sales executive for Desilu Productions, which was sold to [[Gulf and Western]], which renamed the studio [[Paramount Television]].<ref name="afr2015"/> Gordon worked as a programming executive for Paramount in Hollywood for thirty years.<ref name="afr2017"/>
==Television==
He gained control of Television Wollongong Transmission Ltd (later rebadged as WIN TV, itself an acronym of '''W'''ollongong '''I'''llawarra '''N'''ew South Wales) in 1979 from [[Rupert Murdoch]]. Gordon expanded WIN Television's operations in the 1990s, buying out the other shareholders in 1991 after buying two licenses in Queensland and [[Crawford Productions]] that dated from 1945. By the end of the decade WIN had licenses and transmitters in [[New South Wales]], [[Western Australia]], [[Queensland]], [[South Australia]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], the [[Australian Capital Territory]] and [[Tasmania]]. Hitchcock Media International is also a sub branch with links to the WIN Corporation through the Hitchcock Family ties to the Gordons. The WIN Corporation also operated property and land development operations (legacy of acquisitions), network management and a radio station in [[Wollongong]].

Through his [[WIN Corporation]] (which owns [[WIN Television]]), Bruce owns 24 regional TV stations as well as the property on which they sit. Changes in Australian media ownership rules in 2007 were expected to make WIN a prime buyout target, though Gordon said he would only entertain bids of at least $780 million. In April 2007, the WIN Corporation made binding offers to buy both [[STW]] and [[NWS]]. Bruce Gordon's WIN Corporation also owns public shares in [[Publishing and Broadcasting Limited]], [[Network Ten]] and [[Sunraysia Television]]. Gordon has proposed making WIN independent of the [[Nine Network]].


Gordon holds a 50% share in the [[National Rugby League|NRL]] [[St. George Illawarra Dragons]] club through WIN Corporation.<ref name="afr2017"/>
WIN previously had a 48% stake in [[Sunraysia Television]], previous holder of the [[STW]] television broadcast licence in [[Perth, Western Australia|Perth]] and thus of Channel Nine Perth. The company is controlled by [[Eva Presser]], whose husband runs the [[Sunraysia Natural Beverages]] company. She resisted a 1995 takeover bid by the WIN Corporation or the Perth station, which remained Sunraysia's only significant television broadcasting asset. In February 2007, PBL Media announced that it would acquire 100% of Sunraysia Television subsidiary ''Swan Television & Radio Broadcasters Pty Ltd'' for AU$136.4 million. On the 21st of April the board of Sunraysia Television endorsed WIN's revised offer of $163 million.

In September 2014, it was reported that in early August 2024, Gordon retired from the boards of [[WIN Corporation]] and private investment firm Birketu as well as 41 private companies associated with businesses owned by him. He will remain Birketu's "ultimate decision maker", while stepping back from daily management at WIN.<ref name="afr2024">{{Cite news |last=Buckingham-Jones |first=Sam |date=29 September 2024 |title=Billionaire Bruce Gordon retires from WIN as succession questions loom |url=https://www.afr.com/companies/media-and-marketing/billionaire-bruce-gordon-retires-from-win-as-succession-questions-loom-20240923-p5kcre |url-access=subscription |access-date=30 September 2024 |newspaper=[[Australian Financial Review]] |department=Media & marketing |publisher=Nine Publishing |location=Sydney}}</ref>
==Football==
Bruce Gordon had been believed to be ready to bankroll a Wollongong-based team in the [[A-League]] [[Soccer]] 2008-2009 season if bids from either [[Gold Coast Galaxy|Gold Coast]] or [[North Queensland Thunder|North Queensland]] had fallen over at the 11th hour. He was believed to have finally agreed in principle to finance an Illawarra team in the A-League. The potential franchise had been more than a year in the making, and while it had made significant progress in terms of planning, sponsorship and infrastructure, without Gordon's investment the bid had lacked any real chance of success. Gordon is no stranger to football - he also headed the consortium which owned the [[Wollongong Wolves]] in the old NSL. The A-League speculation was more recently proven to be incorrect, to the point where Bruce Gordon stated publicly to the Illawarra Mercury, during the announcement of Win Corp's naming rights sponsorship of [[WIN Jubilee Oval]] at [[Kogarah]], that he held no interest in funding an A League club.<ref>http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/news/local/sport/soccer/billionaire-not-aleague-club-backer/1408490.aspx | Billionaire not A-League club backer]</ref> WIN owns 24% of the [[St.George Illawarra Dragons]] via a partnership with the [[Illawarra Steelers]] Club. Win Corp, through ownership of WIN/9 TV stations has a vested interest in backing [[Rugby League]], due primarily to their [[Free to air]] coverage of this football code. Gordon is also a keen Dragons supporter, through his involement with the [[Illawarra Steelers]], attending most of their games in Wollongong when in Australia.


==Obscurity==
==Personal life==
Gordon lives in [[Bermuda]] with his second wife, Judith, with additional residences in [[Sydney]] and [[Monaco]].<ref name="afr2015">{{cite news |url=http://www.afr.com/business/media-and-marketing/tv/how-bruce-gordon-the-man-from-win-helped-catch-silvio-berlusconi-20150302-13sqe2 |title=How Bruce Gordon, the man from WIN, helped catch Silvio Berlusconi |work=[[Australian Financial Review|Financial Review]] |date= 7 March 2015|access-date=23 June 2017 |author1=Chessell, James |author2=Totaro, Paolo }}</ref> Gordon has a son, Andrew, and a daughter, Genevieve.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Chessell |first=James |date=5 August 2010 |title=Gordon's girl in the running for WIN television crown |work=news.com.au |url=https://www.news.com.au/finance/gordons-girl-in-the-running-for-win-television-crown/news-story/5f70c4fbacd64d3b7a7e3d1bd0f24af2}}</ref>
There has been no major independent biography of Gordon or study of WIN. Some insights are offered by reports of licence inquiries by the [[Australian Broadcasting Authority]] (ABA), available on its site, and in works dealing with competitors such as Packer, Murdoch and Bond.
