EXCELSIOR CEO SPENCER BROWN added that FRIES "will focus on growing the DIAL GLOBAL Digital 24/7 Formats drawing on his experience as a pioneer in the field. He will also work with senior management at DIAL GLOBAL and MJI INTERACTIVE to identify new business expansion opportunities that combine traditional and non-traditional programming."

DIAL GLOBAL co-CEO/Pres. DAVID LANDAU said that FRIES "is one of the rare talents in radio who has a total understanding of the sales, programming and operational aspects of our business. We are truly excited to be associated with GARY, and we are confident that he is going to help us immensely with his insight, knowledge, and contacts."
