Leading radio network aims to establish the model for synergy
Following the recent merging of Dial Global’s 24-hour music formats with those of the former Jones Radio Networks, Dial Global Programming President Kirk Stirland today announced the programming management team responsible for its operation. This group is comprised of both Dial Global and former JRN programmers, all of whom will report to EVP/Programming Beau Phillips.
In announcing this new line-up, Dial Global has blended the best talent from both companies, creating a superstar programming team. Now, Stirland and Phillips will focus on teambuilding and collaboration across their broadcasting operations in Los Angeles, Denver, Seattle, Omaha and Nashville.
