Twin Cities Radio: iHM Names Jeff Tyler Market President

Jeff Tyler
iHeartMedia/Minneapolis announced Wednesday that Jeff Tyler has been named Market President, effective immediately.

Tyler has more than 20 years of experience in the radio industry rooted in programming and sales.

After many years behind the microphone, across various formats and in cities around the Midwest, Tyler became General Sales Manager, while maintaining a daily talk show in 1993. In 1997 he was named General Manager for the newly formed 6-station cluster at Capstar Broadcasting in Madison, WI. In 2009 he joined iHeartMedia and added responsibilities to include the Milwaukee market. Tyler was elevated to Regional Market Manager in 2012, overseeing the Madison and Milwaukee markets along with Grand Rapids/Muskegon, Mich., Eau Claire, Wisc. and Rochester, Minn.

"I am excited to join a tremendous Minneapolis team in one of the best markets in the country," said Tyler. "It will be an honor to represent the historic call letters and franchises of the Twin Cities. At the same time, it¹s also bittersweet to leave teams in Madison and Milwaukee which have been a big part of my career and life."

"I worked closely with Jeff previously and have witnessed his ability to drive results and lead a successful team, it took a while, but I am excited to work with him again" said Hartley Adkins, Executive Vice President of Operations, iHeartMedia. "Jeff¹s achievements as a Regional Market Manager in our Regional Division made him an ideal choice for this role and I look forward to working with him again."
