LONDON - Former ITV and Capital Radio chief Richard Eyre has been appointed as chairman at Rapid Mobile Media, the mobile advertising and application provider.

Eyre brings more than thirty years of media experience to the post, having previously served as chief executive of Capital Radio and the ITV Network and chief executive officer and chairman of Pearson Television.

"Few people doubt that the mobile advertising market will be huge. I believe its time has come," said Eyre.
