Urban One's Radio One has assigned its OM for the company's Cleveland and Cincinnati radio stations additional duties for its Columbus, Ohio, stations.

After 16 years as Nielsen's Chief Research Officer, Paul Donato settled in to his 23rd-floor condo in Miami Beach and launched his own media and market research company.

If you don't think broadcast TV companies are serious about building their digital strategies, look at what TEGNA — the company formerly known as Gannett — just did: the second-ever employee at digital darling Mashable has been tapped as TEGNA's new Chief Digital Officer.
