Guardian Media Group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guardian Media Group plc is a company of the United Kingdom owning various mass media operations including The Guardian, The Observer and the Manchester Evening News. The Group is owned by the Scott Trust. It was founded as the Manchester Guardian Ltd in 1907 when C. P. Scott bought the Manchester Guardian from the estate of his cousin Edward Taylor. It became the Manchester Guardian and Evening News Ltd when it bought out the Manchester Evening News in 1924, later becoming the Guardian and Manchester Evening News Ltd to reflect the change in the morning paper's title. It adopted its current name in 1993. Its current chief executive is Carolyn McCall, formerly Chief Executive of Guardian Newspapers Ltd and a non executive director of Tesco and chair of Opportunity Now.
The radio stations are controlled by the group's subdivision, GMG Radio. As of Wednesday 18th October, GMG owns the Century stations in both Manchester and Gateshead after a surprise and a instant purchase from GCap Media.<ref>GUARDIAN MEDIA GROUP ACQUIRES CENTURY RADIO (19 October 2006).
