SINGAPORE: Singapore's leading media company, MediaCorp, has consolidated its various online and mobile properties under one division, effective Friday.

Called the Interactive Media Division (IMD), the aim is to sharpen the company’s efforts in the new media space as well as to capitalise on growing interest among users and advertisers.

Harnessing the online and mobile resources of television, radio, print, news and technologies divisions, the new division will spearhead and grow the new media businesses across the MediaCorp group.

The IMD will run as a separate business from the current two business clusters - television and news/radio/print.

MediaCorp's Deputy CEO for News, Radio and Print, Shaun Seow, will oversee the new division, in addition to his responsibilities at the news/radio/print cluster.

Telecommunication veteran Steven Chan will join the company as the Interactive Media Division's Senior Vice President.

Mr Chan brings with him over 20 years of experience, mostly in the telecommunication industry.

For the past nine years, he has made significant contributions to the development and growth of the mobile industry in Singapore and the Asia Pacific region.

Prior to joining MediaCorp, he was an Executive Director at Asia Mobility Initiative (AMI) Alliance.
