Global Radio rejigs execs
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 15 December 2010
Radio giants Global yesterday announced an executive rejig which will see former Mail On Sunday boss Stephen Miron, currently CEO of the company’s Global Radio division, become CEO of the wider Global Group, which also includes the firm’s albeit much smaller talent management and music publishing companies. Elsewhere Mike Gordon, currently Global’s Commercial Director, will become MD Commercial, which is apparently different.
With Miron basically taking on the current job title of Global’s main top man Ashley Tabor, he will become Executive President, and will also have the word “founder” printed on his business cards. Global Radio’s top programming man Richard Park will continue to report straight into Tabor, rather than one of the other two elevated execs.
Confirming the promotions, Tabor told reporters: “I made these appointments because as we continue to develop the business it’s important to ensure that the company has the right leadership structure in place for the needs of the business today, and also for the future. Global is virtually unrecognisable from the company I launched two years ago. Today, we are a significant media and entertainment business with a weekly radio audience of nearly 20 million, and successful and growing publishing and talent divisions and I am excited at the prospect of further growth in the year ahead”.
The Miron man added: “I am genuinely delighted to be given this expanded role. In only two years Global has transformed the commercial radio industry and personally for me it has become a very special company to work for. I’m tremendously excited about the opportunities the future holds for us as a business”.
