iHeartMedia has resigned popular talk radio host Michael Berry to a long-term renewal.

Berry, whose show originates at KTRH 740 AM Houston and can be heard in thirteen iHeartMedia markets around the country, began in radio in 2005. This new agreement continues Berry’s partnership with iHeartMedia until 2020.

“While I’m loyal to the company I’ve worked with for so long, this agreement is about the future, not the past,” said Berry.  “From Bob Pittman, our Chairman and CEO, and Roch Bressler, our President, COO and CFO, to Kelly Kibler, my EVPO; Eeddie Martiny, my Market Manager; and Marc Sherman and Bryan Erickson, our programming directors in Houston -- every single one of them is committed to our show, our team, and the way we things.  They’ve provided a platform for me to serve my sponsors, entertain our listeners, and raise money for Veterans, and I’m incredibly excited about our future.”

“Michael is a great talent, and his audience loves and relies on him -- both for the news and important information he provides every day, and for his strong commitment to his community of listeners and the causes important to them,” said iHM Chairman/CEO Bob Pittman.  “We are very pleased that Michael will continue his strong work for us, and delighted that he’ll continue to be such a key part of our team.”
