iHeartMedia Veep Parade: A new management title structure at iHeartMedia has all OMs and VPs/Programming rising to SVP/Programming in their markets, Market Managers in Regional Markets rising to Market Presidents, Regional Market Managers becoming Regional Market Presidents and DOS or VP/Sales becoming SVP/Sales. For programmers in top 50 markets on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase reporting panel, those celebrating new titles include:
- Washington-Baltimore VP/Programming & WMZQ PD Meg Stevens
- Grand Rapids OM and Premium Choice PD Doug Montgomery
- WUBL/Atlanta OM/PD Brian Michel
- KNIX/Phoenix PD and cluster VP/Programming Steve Geofferies
- KEEY/Minneapolis OM/PD Gregg Swedberg
- WKKT/Charlotte OM/PD Jeff Wyatt
- KASE & KVET/Austin VPP Patrick Davis
- WMIL & iHM/Milwaukee Dir./Programming Kerry Wolfe
- KTST & iHM/Oklahoma City Dir./Programming Tom Travis.
The changes, which extend well beyond the confirmed list above, were announced during company meetings in Las Vegas this week, and reflected in yesterday's promotion of iHM/Nashville's Michael Bryan (Breaking News 2/25), who also received executive producer roles with the Bobby Bones Show and Tige & Daniel.
