Andy Hawkins, the former executive sales director at Granada Sky

Broadcasting, has resurfaced as a media consultant with agency Frontline

Media.



Hawkins’ new venture - Frontline Communications - aims to provide a

business consultancy service to media owners and clients.



He is working on a number of projects for Frontline Media’s clients,

which include the BBC, London News Radio and three other media

clients.



Hawkins is also advising third-party companies in the TV, radio and

outdoor sectors.



Meanwhile, it is understood that Hawkins has resumed discussions with

CLT about buying Atlantic 252. Talks were thought to have stalled

because of the estimated pounds 30m price tag.



Hawkins, a former commercial director of Atlantic before joining

Granada, had been working on a buyout plan with a consortium called

European Radio Ventures.
