Thomas Named Pres., iHeart Mid-North
• iHeartMedia announced that Charlie Thomas has been elevated to Area President for the company’s Mid-North area, which includes the addition of the Eau Claire, WI and Rochester, MN markets. The region comprises 29 radio stations in the Bismarck, Dickinson, Minot & Grand Forks, ND markets, along with Eau Claire and Rochester, where Jeanna Berge was upped to Market President last week.
As Area President, Thomas will be responsible for overseeing programming, advertising and operations across that whole Mid-North area, reporting to Division President Shosh Abromovich, who commented, “We are very excited for Charlie to oversee these six markets. His proven leadership helped the North Dakota area be among the top performers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. I’m confident that his forward thinking will guide and grow these communities to the next level.”
Thomas’ media career spans 36 years with experience on-air and in programming, sales and management. Before his promotion to Mid-North Area President, he served in several high-level leadership positions for iHeartMedia, including Area President for iHeartMedia North Dakota, Market President for iHeartMedia Bismarck and Area President for iHeartMedia Grand Folks. “I’m truly excited to now be working with the iHeartMedia Eau Claire and Rochester markets and continuing to work with the amazing iHeartMedia team in North Dakota,” said Thomas. “We’ll continue to deliver quality content to our communities as well as quality marketing products to our clients in the new Mid-North area for iHeartMedia.” [Photo from LinkedIn]
