iHeartMedia/Minneapolis has announced longtime Market President, Mike Crusham, is going to retire.

Crusham has been in the industry for more than 44 years, starting as a sports reporter on a morning show on WMKY at Morehead State University. He went on to hold various positions as General Manager, Sales Manager and others at radio stations throughout Kentucky, Tulsa, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Austin and Houston.

Crusham joined iHeartMedia in June 2005, first as Director of Sales for the Miami Cluster and was later named Regional Vice President of South Florida and Market Manager for Miami. In 2006 he was named Market President for iHeartMedia Boston and after 10 months headed to Minneapolis, where he has served as Marked President since.

"The past nine years at iHeartMedia have been some of my most successful and personally gratifying years in the business. I have had a tremendous team and company that has been supportive and instrumental in setting me up to win," said Crusham. "I've worked hard and had a blast while doing it. I will miss the job and the people tremendously. However, it is time for me to do something different. iHeartMedia Minneapolis has great brands and stations, combined with a brilliant staff."
