A new honcho is coming to run the online radio division at Clear Channel.
AOL’s head of music and radio, Evan Harrison, will answer to John Hogan, who said in a statement that the number of people listening to radio online has grown fivefold over five years. “It’s time to step up our programming there.”
Clear Channel said it has about 200 stations streaming content online and hopes to use the Internet to create stronger national brand identities for several formats.
Harrison will be based in New York.
