Bauer appoint new MD for Place stations in Scotland and North England
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 3 October 2013
Bauer Media yesterday announced that Graham Bryce, who has previously led the firm’s local radio network in Scotland, will expand his remit by becoming Group MD for the company’s radio operations in both Scotland and North England.
He will oversee all the Bauer radio stations in the region that sit within what the company calls its ‘Place Portfolio’. Regional MDs for the North West, North East and Yorkshire, and the Place Group Content Director for the North and Scotland, will now report into Bryce.
Confirming this, Bauer Radio’s Group MD Dee Ford told CMU: “This is a landmark appointment and one that will be hugely advantageous for our Place portfolio. Graham’s fantastic experience and credentials made him the stand out candidate and I know that his ability, drive and ambition will influence and benefit our wider radio business”.
While Bryce himself said: “I feel very privileged to be leading Bauer’s iconic Place radio stations across northern England and Scotland. These unique brands have unrivalled connection and engagement with the communities they serve and continue to be incredibly relevant in this fast-changing multi-channel world. I can’t wait to work with the talented teams and look forward to unveiling the exciting growth plans for Place over the coming months”.
As previously reported, Bauer recently revamped the Programme Controller roles within its local radio network, renaming said people as Content Controllers and appointing a bunch of new people to that role. Last week a further new Content Controller was confirmed for Manchester station Key 103. Kate Cocker joins the radio firm from BBC 6music, and previously worked at the Manchester outpost of Xfm.
