Clear Channel says Talbott will become the President of Content and Affiliate Services for the company's National Media Groups, effective immediately. Talbott previously served as President of Content and Affiliate Relations for Premiere Networks. The National Media Groups division, led by Kevin Dorsey, President of National Media Groups and reporting to John Hogan, oversees the operations of Clear Channel’s subsidiaries, including Premiere Networks, Katz Media Group, and Total Traffic Network.

The new position will provide the company’s affiliates with a simplified and streamlined point of contact for communicating and conducting business across Clear Channel’s diverse group of subsidiaries.
Talbott said, “It’s an exciting time at Clear Channel Media and Entertainment and I’m thrilled to take on this new role. I enjoy working with our clients and partners, and this alignment of our affiliate efforts will allow us to better serve and communicate with stations throughout the U.S. I’m looking forward to working with the amazing teams across the company as we continue to demonstrate the unique relationship CCM+E has with our audience.”
“Given Julie’s many years of experience, incredible relationships with broadcasters, and her knowledge and understanding of how to best serve our broadcasting clients, she is perfectly positioned to take on this critical new role,” said John Hogan, Chairman and CEO of Clear Channel Media and Entertainment. “Having Julie in this expanded role is great news for us and even better news for all of our affiliates.”
