iHeartMedia has appointed Kevin LeGrett as Market President for its 8-station cluster in Los Angeles, effective August 3.

In addition, the company also announced that Greg Ashlock, President of iHeartMedia Southern California and Executive VP/Operations for iHeartMedia, will take on expanded responsibilities in his EVP/O role, which will continue to include oversight of the Los Angeles cluster. LeGrett will report in to Ashlock.

LeGrett is a 22-year media veteran who joined iHeartMedia in 2010 as VP/Market Manager for its Rochester, NY, market. He most recently served as Senior VP/Operations, overseeing more than 220 radio stations and 46 markets of all sizes in the Northeast and Midwest regions. LeGrett has also held senior leadership positions across sales, programming and goperational divisions, and has led multiple projects in a variety of iHeartMedia divisions.

"Kevin has a successful track record leading operations and accelerating growth across multiple regions throughout the US and has earned the right to lead our largest market," said Ashlock. "His vast experience managing talent and revenue across so many diverse markets and stations will allow him to bring a unique perspective to our Los Angeles portfolio -- a portfolio that I have been blessed to directly manage for the last decade that hosts the most compelling on-air talent and most innovative leaders in the business."

"I am thrilled for the opportunity to lead our extremely talented team in Los Angeles," added LeGrett. "iHeartMedia Los Angeles has some of the most iconic brands and beloved personalities in the country, and with the instantaneous success of Real 92.3 and the continued stellar ratings and thriving pop culture events such as Wango Tango and Jingle Ball, it is an exciting time for the market. I look forward to the opportunity to further build on the team's already enormous success."
