The group, which also owns Spin 1038, Spin South West and Dublin's 98FM in Ireland, has undergone a series of management changes and restructuring throughout 2017 under new chief executive Adrian Serle.

This has involved the centralising of the advertising sales operation for all of its stations, as well as the standing down of certain editorial and management roles such as the chief executive positions at individual stations.

Newstalk's last chief executive Tim Collins, a qualified doctor and barrister as well as a former political advisor, was recently appointed chief executive of Irish Heart, the organisation previously known as the Irish Heart Foundation.
