EMAP splits Performance division, creating separate radio unit

EMAP is splitting its Performance division in two, creating a standalone radio unit, EMAP Radio, while its magazine and TV arm moves into the consumer magazine division.

Some big changes over at EMAP Performance, the music, radio and TV division of the major media player. The division will be split into two. Its radio stations, which include the **Magic

FM stations and the Big City network, will get their own division called EMAP Radio**. The magazine and TV bit of EMAP Performance will be rolled into the company's consumer magazine division.

The creation of a stand alone radio unit probably precedes EMAP's plans to takeover one or more of the smaller players in the

UK radio space (Scottish Radio Holdings reportedly their main target). The merger of the company's TV arm in with its consumer mags will aid the group's plans to create TV stations around more of their print media - the first new TV station in the pipeline reportedly FHM TV.
