Danny Goldberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Danny Goldberg was named CEO of the liberal talk radio network Air America Radio on February 28, 2005. His stated goals were to increase the network's advertising and public awareness and to get it aired in 90% of the country. He left that position in April, 2006, but remained with the company as vice chairman [1].
Mr. Goldberg was formerly chairman/Chief Executive Officer for Artemis Records. Goldberg is also former chairman/CEO to Mercury Records, Warner Brothers Records, and former President of Atlantic Records. In the past he also managed musicians and bands ranging from Led Zeppelin to Nirvana, Bonnie Raitt, and the Beastie Boys. He was also a member of the board of directors of the New York Civil Liberties Union and president of the ACLU Foundation of Southern California.
From the time of Goldberg's arrival at the progressive talk network, he had been the object of blame for numerous decisions that have sparked controversy among Air America's fans, such as dropping hosts Lizz Winstead and Marc Maron (formerly of Morning Sedition).
