Again with the acquisition of Mid106 fm, I conducted a full technical audit and worked closely with the NMG CEO on the re-branding to Six FM.I was sent to launch Five Fm on the technical side. Within one month on air, I took over as Station Manager where I was given total responsibility for the operation of the station from programming, marketing, and sales. I quickly increased sales revenue and audience by managing a very hardworking and loyal team and Five Fm became the best performing station in the Northern Media Group.During the launch and takeovers of the NMG Radio stations, Rivermedia newspapers were launching a new title every three months, which again I had to manage from the technical side.I was asked to return from Five FM to Letterkenny in August 2007 to help project manage the build of Riverhouse, Rivermedia’s Group Headquarters in Letterkenny from the ground up.
