Feb 19 (Reuters) - Australian free-to-air television broadcaster Seven West Media Ltd (AX:SWM) SWM.AX said on Tuesday its half-year net profit fell 13.8 percent as stringent cost-saving measures failed to offset a fall in advertising revenue.
Net profit came in at A$86.2 million ($61.44 million) for the six months ended Dec. 30, compared to A$100 million a year ago.
Seven West said half-year revenue fell 1.5 percent from a year ago. ($1 = 1.4029 Australian dollars)
