Condolences: Radha Subramanyam

• Radha Subramanyam, Executive Vice President, Chief Research and Analytics Officer for the CBS Television Network, and former iHeartMedia President of Insights, Research and Data Analytics, died Monday, Jan. 5 after a battle with cancer, as reported by Variety. She was only 55.

Subramanyam joined CBS Corporation in November 2017 following a five-year run with iHeartMedia, where she rose to President of Insights, Research and Data Analytics. She earlier served as SVP of Media and Advertiser Insights and Analytics at Nielsen and held senior executive roles at Yahoo! and MTV Networks, and began her media career at NBCUniversal, after teaching media and entertainment courses at Vassar College and New York University. Subramanyam earned her Ph.D. in Radio, Television and Film from Northwestern University.

“Radha was a true force of nature who passionately championed CBS,” said Paramount Chair of TV Media George Cheeks. “It would be hard to find someone who loved CBS more. Her passion for our work and her belief in the power of storytelling were contagious. She inspired us to think deeper and always strive for excellence.”

Subramanyam is survived by her husband, Joseph, and children Tara and River.
