Group Directors exit ex-Tindle stations

Two Group Directors are leaving the former Tindle Radio stations which have just been part of a management buyout by David Lovell.

RadioToday has learnt Lyn Long, Group Operations Director at Tindle Radio Group for the last six years, will leave the company with immediate effect.

Also, Gina Frost, Group Commercial Director left the company last week before details of the MBO were announced.

In an email sent to staff, seen by RadioToday, new owner David Lovell says about Lyn: “It is always sad to see people leave when they have been with the company that long and I am sure you will join with me in wishing her the very best for the future.”

A new company, Media Aspect Local, was set up to buy five of the eight stations owned by Sir Ray Tindle under the Tindle Radio Group banner.

RadioToday also understands a management agreement has been put in place for Media Aspect Local to manage the remaining Tindle stations in the Channel Islands and Ireland.
