Global Radio has named Stephen Miron as chief executive of radio.

Miron, who is currently managing director of Mail on Sunday and Mail Online, will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of Global's radio business, a press release said.

The start date for his new post is yet to be announced.

"I am delighted that Stephen has agreed to join the company. He is highly regarded within the media sector and I have been impressed with his achievements within the newspaper industry over many years and in particular the innovative and exciting developments he has brought to the Mail on Sunday," said Ashley Tabor, Global Group CEO.

Miron's move follows the appointment of Global's group executive director and director of broadcasting Richard Park last year.
