Second Chance With iHeartMedia

• iHeartMedia announced that Greg Chance has been named Senior Vice President/Programming for the company’s 20+ radio stations comprising the Des Moines, IA, St. Louis, Indianapolis and North Dakota Area.

The new gig marks a welcome return to radio — and to iHeartMedia — for Chance, who notably spent nearly two decades with Clear Channel/iHeartMedia in his hometown of Des Moines, launching KKDM (107.5 Kiss FM) in 1999 and rising to Region SVP of Programming for St. Louis and Omaha until May 2019, when he tendered his resignation and joined the family business, Diamond Oil, as Vice President.

“Greg is an incredible programmer,” said Maynard, Executive Vice President/Programming, iHeartMedia. “We’re thrilled to have him back in the company.”

Chance remarked, “I am profoundly humbled that iHeart would allow me this opportunity. I look forward to reuniting with my past colleagues and meeting new colleagues in the immediate future. This gives me a sense of peace and I’m extremely flattered and grateful. I look forward to diving back into all of these brands and vetting all the new ones. To say that I’m excited to return would be an understatement.”
