Andrew Morley Out, Justin Cochrane In (as @ClearChannelUK CEO)

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Clear Channel UK announced today that Justin Cochrane has been appointed CEO, Clear Channel UK with immediate effect.

Resulting from this appointment, Clear Channel UK also confirmed that Andrew Morley has left the business – Andrew was appointed back in June 2014 – replacing Matthew Dearden, who at that time, then became Clear Channel Outdoor’s President of Europe (and Chair of Clear Channel UK)

Justin will report to Matthew Dearden. Justin has been with Clear Channel for over a decade, most recently as Chief Operating Officer of Clear Channel Outdoor’s European business. Prior to this, he held the position of Chief Operating Officer, Clear Channel UK.

The statement said, we quote “Clear Channel UK remains focused on delivering powerful and effective campaigns for advertisers and agencies through our nationwide network of Adshel sites, deep investment in digital, consumer research and insight, and the on-going development of our Connect Mobile Platform”.

It would seem it is a bit of a merry-go-round within Clear Channel at the moment (UK, North America, Europe, International – you name it). Last week it was announced that William Eccleshare was returning to London, after his stint in New York, to take up the role of Chairman and CEO of Clear Channel International.
