Russell Robertson has been named Senior VP of Sales for iHeart’s 10-station Tampa Bay cluster. Russell moves to Tampa from iHeart Seattle, where he was Senior VP for Sales. He also served as GSM for KOZ, KGB, KLSD, and Chargers Radio Broadcast for iHeartMedia San Diego.
Robertson will report to Chris Soechtig, Market President for iHeartMedia Tampa Bay, who said he’s thrilled to have Robertson on the team. “His 10-plus years of experience in iHeartMedia’s Pacific Northwest and San Diego Regions, coupled with his passion for helping clients grow their business, makes him the ideal choice for SVPS in Tampa Bay.”
“I am very thankful for the opportunity I had in Seattle and working with some amazing broadcasters. The opportunity to be in my home state working with the Tampa iHeartMedia team was an opportunity I had to pursue,” said Robertson. “The last 17 years with iHeartMedia has allowed me the chance to work in amazing markets like San Diego, Seattle, and now Tampa. My wife Amanda, my kids Tori and Zack, and I are looking forward to settling in and making Tampa home.”
