In commenting on the addition of Radio Disney to the Disney-ABC Television Group Kids' Business, Anne Sweeney, co-chair, Disney Media Networks and president, Disney-ABC Television Group, said: "Radio Disney stands to benefit enormously from its integration into our portfolio of global kids' business. I know Rich and the entire team will create one cohesive vision to provide Disney-quality entertainment to kids and families wherever they are and whenever they want it."
Mr. Ross commented: "We'll continue to build Radio Disney as a self-sustaining operation that enhances the company's overall market presence with kids, parents and advertisers." He added, "Jill is a kids' entertainment expert and a superb strategist who has made enormous contributions to our global kids' TV portfolio. Not only does she bring a wealth of experience to this job, her leadership skills continue to make her a great asset to the Company."
Ms. Casagrande said: "After working full throttle on the kids' TV business across multiple markets and brands, I am enormously excited by the prospect of leading Radio Disney, a network that empowers kids by allowing them to participate in a total radio experience."
Mr. Colaco said: "I am extremely proud of Radio Disney's success on multiple platforms around the world and, while I'll miss working with the talented team here, I am excited about the prospects that are ahead, and know I leave the network under the leadership of a team that is dedicated to maintaining and expanding Radio Disney's position as the safe music destination for kids and families."
