Wyatt Named SVPP Of iHeart Baltimore
A programming realignment with iHeartMedia’s DC and Baltimore groups culminates with the announcement that Jeff Wyatt has been named Senior Vice President of Programming for the four-station Baltimore cluster and PD of Country WPOC and Adult Hits WQSR (102.7 Jack-FM). In Washington, Tommy Chuck adds PD responsibilities for AC WASH/Washington. He will continue to program Top 40 WIHT (Hot 99.5). More on Tommy in a minute.
Wyatt most recently served as SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia’s Virginia-Carolina Region and PD of WKKT (96.9 The Kat)/Charlotte, but the move marks a radio homecoming — Wyatt enjoyed a previous stint as VP of Programming for iHeartMedia’s D.C. Region and PD of WMZQ/Washington. Early in his career, Wyatt programmed KIIS-FM/Los Angeles, and later served as VP of Programming for Emmis and PD of KPWR (Power 106)/Los Angeles.
“I’m excited to have Jeff return to iHeartMedia’s Washington, D.C. Region and lead our four amazing brands in Baltimore,” said Jeff Kapugi, SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia’s D.C. Region. “He already knows the area extremely well and his experience in both programming and on-air is unmatched.” Wyatt commented, “Although I will miss working with the incredibly talented team in iHeartMedia’s Virginia-Carolina Region, I’m thrilled for the opportunity to build on the success of our Baltimore stations. I can’t wait to get started. It’s going to be fun!”
With Wyatt on the move north, iHeartMedia EVP of Programming, Northeast Meg Stevens has graciously volunteered to set up shop in Charlotte and oversee the 10 markets in the Virginia-Carolina Region until a permanent replacement is named.
