(November 5, 2010) Clear Channel Radio promotes Cincinnati PD/AM Operations Manager Darryl Parks to VP of News/Talk operations. He'll oversee development and distribution for all Clear Channel spoken-word content across terrestrial and digital, and will work on identifying and developing promising talent from inside and outside Clear Channel.

"Darryl has been recognized inside and outside Clear Channel Radio for his leadership and successes at our top-rated Cincinnati AM cluster," Clear Channel Radio President/CEO John Hogan said."His track record of innovation and execution makes him the perfect candidate to lead our news and talk programming for our local stations."

Hogan continued, "Darryl has a firsthand understanding of the spoken-word services local stations need to succeed, and having a person of his talent driving their delivery as a strategically centralized resource to support our local stations adds a real competitive advantage for Clear Channel. We'll continue to invest in our people and resources to help our stations perform at the highest levels possible."

Parks said, "I’m looking forward to the opportunity to share my experience and foster best practices while driving the information services that will give our stations a leg up in the markets,” said Parks. “Clear Channel has been very active in rolling out top quality resources to support local operations, and being able to lead this latest initiative for news, talk and sports, matches my expertise with my long term interest of meeting the needs of today’s audiences -- providing consumers with their favorite content delivered across the latest platforms."
