Bauer Media Audio has appointed Simon Myciunka as CEO of Bauer Media Audio UK. He formally starts his role on July 1 and will lead the group’s teams across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Myciunka joined Bauer Media two years ago when Bauer acquired Communicorp Ireland. Bauer Media says that under his leadership as CEO of Bauer Media Audio Ireland, the business has gone from strength to strength, further growing reach and revenues across its broadcast and digital audio activities.
Chris Doyle will take responsibility for the day-to-day running of Bauer Media Audio Ireland until a permanent successor is appointed.
Commenting on Myciunka’s appointment, Richard Dawkins, president of audio at Bauer Media Group, said, “Simon brings the ideal mix of skills to take the business forward to meet its next set of ambitions as we not only strengthen our position in live broadcast radio but also exploit all the opportunities that digital presents to deepen our relationships with audiences and commercial partners alike, ensuring we have a vibrant and inclusive culture that enables everyone to do their best work.”
