Former iHeartMedia Regional President Robert Dove has been named the new Market Manager at Alpha Media in Portland.
The Portland native will step into the shoes vacated after Lisa Decker announced her impending retirement. Decker worked as the cluster’s leader for the past seven years.
“I’m very excited to join the Alpha Media team. As a native Portlander having the chance to work with some of Portland radio’s most iconic brands is very rewarding and fulfilling,” said Dove. “I can’t wait to get started.”
Most recently, Dove has worked as the Managing Partner at a Portland advertising agency. He brings 36 years of broadcasting experience to the group, including a five-year run as the Regional President of iHeart, overseeing the Seattle, Portland, Spokane, Anchorage, and Fairbanks clusters.
“I am very excited to have Robert lead us to new heights, opportunities, and successes,” added Alpha Media CEO Bob Proffitt. “He knows Portland like no other broadcaster, has deep relationships and knowledge of our city’s intricacies, and will be a great addition to our team of Market Managers all across America.”
Portland serves as the Alpha Media headquarters. The cluster includes news/talk stations 101 KXL and Freedom 970.
