After more than 30 years with the company, iHeartMedia Senior Vice President of the Inside Sales Division Chuck Deskins will retire later this year.
Deskins began his career in 1987 as an account executive for news/talk 700 WLW in Cincinnati when it was owned by Jacor Communications.
He continually climbed the ladder, working as General Sales Manager and Director of Sales in Tampa, serving as Market President in Atlanta, before elevating to Vice President of Sales in Miami and Tampa.
Deskins briefly departed the company before returning in 2018 and advancing to his current role in 2019.
“I’m really going to miss my Inside Sales Family and all my iHeart friends across the country. What an awesome group. Thanks to everyone for making this an awesome ride,” Deskins said.
“Chuck has been the very example of what iHeart is all about – hardworking, innovative, creative, and, above all, a great teammate at each of his impressive career stops in our company,” added iHeart President of Market Groups Hartley Adkins. “We’re honored he spent so much of his career here, and will miss his expertise and leadership.”
