Atlantic 252, which is owned by CLT, has named MTV head of music David Dunne as programme director beginning October 1998 to succeed Al Dunne, who left the radio station to become chief executive of Ireland Digital Courier. David Dunne, who first joined Atlantic 252 in a part-time capacity to host the new dance programme "bmp," will take charge in repositioning the radio station to attract 15 to 24-year-olds with the introduction of new shows as well as changes in program schedules. Travis Baxter, managing director of Atlantic 252 is confident that Dunne would be successful in realigning the radio station to the youth market.
