Will new CEO and ARN board survive Kyle and Jackie O car crash?
Hold the front page: The Kyle and Jackie O bust-up arrived in perfect time for the dailies
Last November Mumbrella carried a piece headlined “Buckle up: Stephenson’s ARN is going to be a wild ride”.
It was the first piece I wrote for Mumbrella, and I revisited it a few weeks later after some surprising management decisions then new chief executive Michael Stephenson had made.
Some people I spoke to thought the forensic examination of the TV sales executive turned radio chief was too harsh. Since then — despite the Christmas break — the ride has only been getting wilder.
Stephenson had inherited an ARN roadmap that former chief executive Ciaran Davis drew up with the support of the board chaired by Hamish McLennan.
Good piece James.
Where is Hamish McLennan in all of this? This was 100% deal.
Duncan is right and everyone else just had to watch.
I suspect a number of harassed staff will now make their way forward. And then more and then more and then more
Once again, nothing at all about the group which caused most of this debacle – MFW. You lot really are so deceptive and broken in your reporting. How does this all work without even the smallest mention of the group which caused most of the revenue drop? Really?
