Simon Myciunka has been appointed as the new CEO of Bauer Media Audio UK. 

Mr Myciunka joined Bauer two years ago when he became CEO of the company’s Irish output - which includes radio stations Newstalk, Today FM, Spin, 98 FM and the recently acquired Red FM in Cork. 

Welcoming the appointment, Bauer Media Group’s President of Audio Richard Dawkins said: 

“Simon brings the ideal mix of skills to take the Bauer Media Audio UK 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”.

Mr Myciunka will take up his new position on July 1st and Chris Doyle will oversee the running of Bauer Media Ireland until a full-time appointment is made.
