Australia’s leading radio network Austereo has appointed Jamie Angel to the role of National Digital Radio Content Director. Angel was formerly Content Director for Sydney’s 2Day FM.

Austereo Chief Executive Officer Michael Anderson said the appointment demonstrated the importance Austereo was placing on digital radio, which will be launched from January 1 next year.

Derek Bargwanna has been appointed Content Director of 2Day FM. He was formerly Content Director for Perth’s 92.9FM, and before that, executive producer of the Kyle and Jackie O breakfast show on 2Day FM.

Bargwanna will be replaced at 92.9FM by Mickey Maher, formerly Content Director for Austereo’s Newcastle stations, NXFM and KOFM.
