Ashlock will now manage the entire iHeartMedia Markets Group, including all 850-plus radio stations in over 150 markets.
In addition to the Ashlock promotion, Hartley Adkins (pictured right), who most recently

This is the next step in that evolution to a fully-empowered Markets Group and is a reflection of the success we’ve had so far, not only in our divisions but with our new Region President structure,” said Pittman. “This new consolidated leadership under Greg will be more nimble, more collaborative, and more connected across the entire company, giving the benefit of iHeartMedia’s unparalleled size, scale, technology, and data to every local market partner and advertiser as well as for the benefit of every listener.“

Hartley will work across all groups at iHeartMedia to drive these new strategies for the benefit of our marketing and advertising partners through all of our revenue channels.”
