Ex-BBC COO Caroline Thomson has joined Carlisle-based CN Group as a non-executive director. This gives her another foothold back in broadcasting - alongside her chairmanship of Digital UK.
The CN Group's origins lie with the first edition of the Carlisle Patriot, on the 3 June, 1815. In 1961, the group became a founder shareholder of Border TV, until its sale in the late 1990s. But the group also invested in radio, owning the Touch Group around the Midlands until 2009 - and it still runs Citybeat in Belfast, The Bay in Morecambe, and Lakeland Radio in Kendal.
The chairman of the CN Group is Lord Inglewood, who notes in his parliamentary register of interests: "Gift of two complimentary tickets for BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend at Carlisle Airport, Carlisle, 14 and 15 May 2011".
