Houston will program and host the midday shift for iHeart’s BIG 95.5 in Chicago. Prior to joining BIG 95.5, Houston, a 25-year radio vet, was PD for iHeart’s WBWL/Boston and WTBU/Portsmouth. He was also Country Format Captain for the Boston region and has worked in Atlanta and Baltimore. He replaces Steve Stewart.

“Lance is one of the most talented country programmers in our industry,” said Matt Scarano, President of iHeartMedia Markets Group’s Chicago Region. “His passion for the product, his creative thought process, and his ability to execute his vision flawlessly, set him apart from the competition. I look forward to working with him again to win the country battle in Chicago.”

“I am thrilled to be joining the iHeartMedia Chicago team and continue to build on the great foundation already in place at Big 95.5,” said Houston. “I’m also really excited to be reunited with Region President Matt Scarano from our days in Atlanta, and working with EVPP Gene Romano and SVPP Tommy Austin to build a ‘BIG,’ successful brand that can win the Chicago country battle!”

Houston will report to Tommy Austin, Senior Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia’s Chicago Region.
