iHeart Undergoes Executive Restructuring
• RAMP has learned that iHeartMedia is undergoing restructuring at the executive level, as several prominent company veterans have reportedly exited, including Brenda Egger, President of iHeartMedia’s Denver Region; Nick Gnau, Detroit-based Division President; and Jason Wilson, Area President for Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri.
• Egger joined iHeart as Denver Region President in early 2020. She has spent her entire media career in Colorado, previously serving as SVP/Market Manager for KSE Radio Denver. Prior to joining KSE in 2008, Egger was Market Manager for Citadel Broadcasting in Colorado Springs. She began her career in radio sales for KOA/Denver.
• Gnau is a 30+ year iHeartMedia veteran who earlier served as a VP and Regional Market Manager for Dayton, Lima, and Marion OH. He was later named Region President for iHeartMedia Detroit, which included the Detroit, Grand Rapids, Toledo and Muskegon, MI markets. In July 2018 Gnau transferred to Philadelphia as Region President. That stint lasted until January 2020, when he was elevated to the company’s newly formed Markets Group.
• Wilson joined iHeartMedia in November 2024 after nearly eight years with Cox Media Group as VP of its Oklahoma/Arkansas Region. He earlier worked in Wichita, KS in sales roles with Sinclair and Journal Broadcast Group.
• Also out: Pete Norden, a nearly 30-year iHeart veteran who rose from Market Manager for Panama City, FL in 1997 to Area SVP of Sales for Tampa/Sarasota, to his most recent position as VP of Sales for iHeart Jacksonville.
