» All About That Bass:

iHeartMedia/Arkansas Area Pres. Clyde Bass has been named to the newly created position of Area Pres./Texas-Arkansas. His oversight will include non-PPM markets in both states, as well as Springfield, MO and Wichita, KS. "Clyde’s passion for our industry, his knowledge of our products and the success he has shown through many roles with iHeartMedia make him the perfect fit," says Division Pres. Nick Gnau, to whom Bass reports. The Texas markets were previously handled by Spencer Bynes, who was named Metro Pres./Atlanta last month (CAT 1/25). Bass had been in his most recent role since 2012 after stops with Cumulus and Duke Broadcasting in Jonesboro, AR.

» Glenn There, Done That:

Former Cumulus/Pensacola OM & Country WXBM PD Glenn Johnson has returned to the post following Tim Murphy’s departure (CAT 2/2). Johnson left the cluster in 2021 (CAT 10/8/21) to join Mobile, AL-based Today’s Homeowner Media in a content creation and production role. He spent more than two years at WXBM following time with Westwood One nationally syndicated The Ty Bentli Show and stops at WCYQ/Knoxville and WABD/Mobile, AL. Reach Johnson here.

» Sale-ebration: Cox/Orlando Mgr./Integrated Sales Ashley Williams has been elevated to DOS for the cluster that includes Country WWKA. She fills the vacancy created when JC Campese was upped to VP/MM in November (CAT 11/14/22). “[Ashley’s] diverse background with CMG and the trust she has built, both internally and externally, makes her the perfect choice to lead CMG/Orlando sales into the future,” says Campese. Williams joined as a Local Solutions Specialist in Sept. 2015 and was named to her most recent post in July 2020. She previously spent eight years in television ad sales. Reach Williams here.
