Former CBS radio executive Dan Mason and programming consultant Walter Sabo believe Central and Eastern Europe is a hot new media market. The partners in Sabo-Mason International have a new management agreement with Tiger Global Management of New York to identify and acquire radio stations in Europe.
Sabo likened the market to that of the U.S. in the ‘70s.
“For the first time there are entire countries free of government run radio and TV stations.”
Mason predicts radio station values will significantly increase soon and the team chose Tiger Global Management as it financial partner because of its knowledge of the market.
Many countries have just recently licensed independent stations.
Sabo and Mason are presenting a workshop at the NAB European Convention in Athens, Greece on Oct. 25.
