Capital Radio Advertising (CRA) has appointed Alison Finch to head up its network sales team.

In her new role Finch, formerly head of interactive sales at CRA, will be responsible for co-ordinating Capital Radio Group’s national properties. Reporting to sales director Chris Bennett she will oversee sales across the group’s Newslink and Pepsi Chart products.

Last week Capital appointed former Metro marketing director, Linda Grant, as its new strategic marketing director and announced plans to restructure Capital Radio Advertising’s sponsorship and promotions department (see Capital Radio Hires Grant And Re-Structures Sales Arm). The group also released a trading update yesterday, showing that radio revenue was down 9% year on year for the last quarter of 2001 (see Trading Updates Offer Little Hope To Radio Industry).
