Clear Channel Sets 24 Regional Management And Programming Teams

New Order Of Business

ALL ACCESS has confirmed what's been rumored for weeks about restructured regional management teams in CLEAR CHANNEL's medium and smaller market stations, following several days of management meetings in ATLANTA this week.

During the past few days, there has been much, as-yet-unfounded, speculation that there will now be a larger level of centralized programming control in each region, and a greater use of the format-targetted PREMIUM CHOICE national programming platforms to improve consistency and control costs.

What is known is that there are now two new categories of management: 24 Regional Marketing Managers (RMMs), and 24 Regional Programming Managers (RPMs), with three of those RPM posts -- in SPRINGFIELD, WORCESTER, MANCHESTER, PORTSMOUTH -- WILMINGTON, DOVER, SALISBURY, OCEAN CITY -- and TOLEDO, AKRON, YOUNGSTOWN, ASHLAND, DEFIANCE -- still unannounced.
