THE Tribune Media Group has appointed Kevin Darville to the role of sales manager at Tribune Radio Ltd (Radio House).

Mr Darville, who has served as special projects manager for the past five years at Tribune Media Group, said he was “excited” for the new opportunity and looks forward to working with staff within the organisation.

While there are numerous radio stations in the Bahamas, Mr Darville said Tribune Radio Ltd was a “one-stop shop” as it offers five radio stations which, combined, reach nearly the entire listening audience in the Bahamas for advertisers. “There is really no need to go elsewhere”, he said.

Tribune Radio Ltd (Radio House) currently consists of five different radio stations - 100 Jamz (100.3), KISSfm (96.1), Y98 (98.7), JOYfm (101.9), and ClassicalFM (98.1). Prior to his employment at Tribune Media Group, Mr Darville worked at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in South Florida.

He has extensive experience in the service industry and graduated from Saint Leo University in Saint Leo, Florida, obtaining his Bachelors of Arts degree in Business Administration specialising in sales and marketing.

Tribune Radio’s chief operating officer, Ollie Ferguson, said: “Kevin has worked at Tribune Radio Ltd for five years. Kevin’s areas of expertise include but are not limited to advertising, special events planning, promotions and revenue analysis.

“In this new role Kevin will be responsible for establishing, developing and maintaining long-term business relationships; sourcing, identifying and securing new business opportunities; generating creative solutions for clients; presenting campaign proposals; and delivering accurate reports and revenue forecasts.”
