iHeartMedia has announced a pair of executive promotions at its Black Information Network.
Vice President of Network Operations Chris Thompson has been promoted to Senior Vice President of News and Programming. He joined the network in October 2020 with 20 years of radio experience. In the new role, Thompson will oversee news, content, and operations for the network.
Additionally, Angela Ingram has been promoted to Senior Vice President of Public Engagement. Like Thompson, Ingram joined the network in October 2020, and previously served as the Director of Local Advocacy and Engagement for BIN.
“Chris and Angela have been integral to the growth and success of the Black Information Network, and these new and expanded roles reflect their leadership. Chris has worked closely with our newsroom since day one and unifying our news and programming operations under his direction will enable us to grow and strengthen our network, podcast, and digital content at a faster pace,” BIN President Tony Coles said.
“I am equally excited about Angela’s new role, which will enable the Black Information Network to work even closer with leaders in government, business, and non-profits to improve our content, coverage, and impact.”
iHeartMedia’s Black Information Network is currently available on AM/FM radio in 34 markets across the nation.
