Global Radio to cut up to 30 jobs

Global Radio, owner of Galaxy, Heart and LBC, is planning to make job cuts in editorial, human resources, programming and technology.

Up to 30 posts will go in the radio groups previously owned by Chrysalis, rather than those recently acquired by Global in its takeover of GCap Media, MediaGuardian reported today.

"We can confirm that a number of employees at Global Radio across the UK are entering into the redundancy consultation process," said a spokeswoman for the company.

"Richard Park, the acting chief executive of Global Radio, has decided to take this action as a prudent reaction to the current economic climate."
