iHeartMedia’s Black Information Network is going through some changes as the radio platform announced the promotion of Andrea Coleman to Vice President of News Operations and Mike Stevens to Managing Editor (h/t Radio Insight).
Coleman joined BIN at its 2020 launch as a news anchor after spending time as an anchor and reporter for CNN and WGCL-TV Atlanta. In February, she was promoted to News Director.
Stevens has been an anchor for BIN since its launch after working at other radio stations such as WCBS New York, Moody Radio, and WFLA Tampa.
The two promotions helped fill the roles held by Tanita Myers until her untimely death in July.
“A major part of Tanita Myers’ legacy at the Black Information Network will forever be the incredible depth of talent she hired. Following her passing, Andrea and Mike not only helped us to continue her work but have built upon this foundation,” said Tony Coles, President of BIN: Black Information Network.
“It only felt natural to elevate both to these leadership positions and trust them to continue bringing BIN to new heights. I am excited to see two of our best journalists advance into these new roles, and I am confident we will continue to grow under their leadership.”
