The boss of GMG Radio Scotland, Billy Anderson, is having his remit expanded - he will now oversee the company's North East England stations too, with GMG's North East MD Debbie Bowman reporting into Anderson.
GMG Radio Group Operations Director Shaun Bowron told reporters: "Billy has earned recognition and respect both from his colleagues within GMG Radio and the Scottish media market for the way he has driven the success of our Scotland business. He will rise to the challenge of driving forward the development of our North East of England stations and his appointment as Regional Director is part of our ambition to ensure we have the very best support structure in place for our staff as our group continues to grow".
