Friedman To Universal: 
No one is commenting, but Columbia National Dir./Field Promotion David Friedman is expected to soon leave for a VP level posting at UMG/Nashville. The new position is likely analogous to the VP/Radio Marketing role previously held by MCA VP/Promotion Katie Dean (Breaking News 6/19). Friedman started with Sony in 2000 at Arista, moving to Columbia in 2007.
