Clear Channel on Thursday named two dozen people to its new Brand Management Team as part of its new “National Programming Platforms” strategy.
Tom Poleman is president of the NPP division; Darren Davis, senior VP and GM of national programming platforms, will lead the Brand Management Team, which now has a “Brand Manager” and “Brand Coordinator” for each format and will serve as in-house format experts.
