Burger Named SVP/Sales For iHeart Raleigh

• iHeartMedia Raleigh has named Michael Burger as Senior Vice President of Sales for the five-station group — Top 40 WDCG (G105), Country WNCB (B93.9), FM Talk 106.1 WTKK, Classic Rock WRDU and ALT 95.3 (WDCG-HD2).

Burger earns the transfer over from iHeartMedia St. Louis, where he was most recently VP of Sales for the cluster as well as the political point for iHeartMedia’s Midwest Zone, which encompasses 12 markets. Prior to that, Burger was a Sr. AE for KTVI (FOX 2)/St. Louis. He began his career at KMIZ/KQFX, an ABC/FOX duopoly in his hometown of Columbia, MO, where he attended the University of Missouri.

In his new Raleigh role, Burger will be now responsible for overseeing all revenue and sales operations for the Raleigh market, reporting to Market President Alan Kirshbom, who said, “Michael has a proven record of winning. Having held virtually all sales roles since joining the industry, his experience will help him lead our team of champions to even greater success.”

Burger commented, “The opportunity to join this accomplished team in Raleigh, a team that is reshaping the way we help clients tell their stories and also leaning into the ever-evolving audio/digital/events/data space, is exhilarating. My appreciation goes to iHeart Raleigh for welcoming me with open arms and my family and I are beyond excited to make Raleigh our new home.”
