Air America Radio Replaces Chief Executive

Air America Radio, a liberal talk radio network that features comedian Al Franken, said Danny Goldberg was giving up his role as chief executive and would be replaced by an executive from a management consulting firm.

Goldberg, a longtime music industry executive, joined Air America as CEO in February 2005. He will remain with the company as vice chairman.

Jim Wiggett will become interim CEO while the company searches for a permanent replacement, the company said. Wiggett is president of Jackson Hole Group in San Francisco.
