Orion restructure leads to redundancies
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 26 August 2009
Orion Media, the all new local radio company set up by former Chrysalis Radio chief Phil Riley, has laid off five people as part of a restructure.
As previously reported, Orion launched by buying eight Midlands based stations off Global Radio – Global being forced to sell some of its stations in the region in order to win regulator approval of its acquisition of GCap.
Riley took over the running of the network of stations at the start of the month, and while his restructure has actually increased the overall headcount, five jobs are to go, including that of Regional Operations Director Adam Bridge.
Riley told Media Week: “Orion Media has reorganised its senior roles. Some people have left, some have other jobs within the company and some other jobs have been created”.
