Grant Named Metro Pres., iHeart Detroit
• iHeartMedia has promoted Colleen Grant to Metro President for the company’s six-station Detroit group. Grant most recently served as Senior Vice President of Sales for the Detroit Metro. In addition, she also served as the Region Vice President of Automotive for iHeartMedia’s Detroit Region, and co-host of the cluster’s public service show, Light Up the D.
Grant reports to Tom McConnell, Division President for iHeartMedia, who commented, “Colleen has been instrumental to the success in Detroit. She has created a culture of high performance, accountability and respect and is the perfect choice to lead the Detroit market.”
“This is a childhood dream come true for me,” said Grant, who began her career at KDZR/Dallas. “Having a father who was the General Manager of television stations, I’d always wanted to oversee stations as he did. I saw the care for people it required, the creativity necessary to generate growth, and his commitment to the community. These are the things I plan to bring to this opportunity and I couldn’t be more excited to do it.”
