Former EMAP Radio boss gets cinematic

Former EMAP Radio boss Tim Schoonmaker has announced he is leaving the radio sector altogether and taking over the top job at Odeon. This ends industry speculation as to where Schoonmaker would go after quitting his EMAP post earlier this year. Confirming his Odeon gig Schoonmaker told reporters: "It's fantastic to join Britain's favourite group of cinemas. This is an exciting time for me to join the cinema industry, which gives many people their most powerful media experience."
