He will report into Owen Ryan, group content director for the North of England and Scotland, who said: “Mike’s vast experience of programming in hugely competitive worldwide markets across mainstream, youth and more mature formats will be invaluable in our drive to return our Yorkshire FM’s to number one in all markets and to grow our Place 2 and Place 3 sub brands across the north of England and Scotland.”
