CRA (Commercial Radio & Audio) has appointed Nova’s chief executive officer, Peter Charlton, the chair of the industry body.
CRA represents the commercial audio industry, with current members across leading radio and audio brands, including Australian Radio Network (ARN), Southern Cross Austereo (SCA), NOVA Entertainment, Nine Radio, ACE Radio Broadcasters and Super Radio Network.
“I’m honoured to be taking on the role of chair at such an exciting time for commercial radio and audio,” said Charlton.
“The industry has never had as much opportunity and CRA demonstrates the exemplified by the recent announcement of CRA Audio ID.
“I’ve had the privilege of knowing and working with Lizzie for over 20 years, so having a formidable senior media executive like her leading the team is invaluable.
“Thank you to Ciaran for his incredible stewardship of the role and I look forward to building on his work by supporting Lizzie and the CRA team in our shared mission to deliver for customers, listeners and our members."
Charlton replaces ex ARN CEO, Ciaran Davis, after three years in the role.
CRA CEO Lizzie Young thanked Davis, and recognised Charlton’s industry experience and leadership as beneficial to his new role as chair.
“I’d like to thank Ciaran for his commitment to CRA, having served on the Board many years, through a period of significant transformation for the sector,” she said.
“As an organisation and with the support of the Board under Pete’s leadership we are excited to continue the work we are doing to grow the industry through our strategic priorities.”
