Confirmation of @ClearChannelUK Departures
Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief
Only a few days late, we note that MediaWeek has finally caught up with the news we broke on Friday, over the weekend and again on Monday on the management reshuffle / bloodbath that has taken place at Clear Channel by new broom Andrew Morely.
The story confirms (what we said here) that Errol Baran, the managing director of Clear Channel Storm and Alex Hollingdale have both been axed but does add that Clear Channel’s marketing director Emma Newman also got the chop.
The MediaWeek story also added that Victor Porter, previously a digital technology consultant at MediaCo Outdoor, has been appointed to the role of technology director.

Adrian,
I continue to take exception with your acidic attacks at other media companies.
“Only a few days late… has finally caught up with…” Those words add nothing to the story. They only serve to grandstand your nastiness.
I don’t think you get it. People read your piece for updates on THEIR industry. It’s never been about you, Adrian.

Thanks for your comment. Our point was that we are usually first with the news, other more established media outlets do tend to have to play catch up .. whilst we freely mention them, they NEVER ever say that the news was broken by DailyDOOH
You are of course entitled to your opinion – this post was actually an incredibly mild ‘acidic’ attack – we were merely pointing out the obvious
People come to DailyDOOH first for breaking stories (yes, and gossip). and just like the other media outlets, our advertisers and sponsors need to see readers to keep us all in business.
I think you can forgive us a little bit of self-promotion when we are half a week ahead of everyone else with the local and global news?
