iHeartMedia in Riverside and San Bernardino counties has named Ryan Lieberman as senior VP of sales for the region. He will report to Melissa Forrest, president of iHeartMedia San Diego and Riverside-San Bernardino.

iHM said Lieberman will utilize his experience in marketing, advertising and digital marketing to lead the sales team in building existing partnerships and developing new ones. He also will work with client partners around the United States and in the San Diego region to create a comprehensive advertising footprint throughout Southern California.

Lieberman is a seasoned radio professional, having spent nearly two decades with CBS Radio in both Chicago and Los Angeles. During his tenure in LA, he oversaw sales at KAMP, KRTH, KTWV, and KCBS. 

For the past three years, he has served as market president for Townsquare Media in Tri-Cities, Washington.

"I am thrilled to return to Southern California as part of the iHeartMedia family by joining the Riverside team," said Lieberman. "Having spent the better part of my career competing against iHeartMedia, and being envious of how their teams execute marketing solutions for their clients, I'm excited to lend my expertise to an already high-functioning team."

"We look forward to having Ryan on board," said Forrest. "His knowledge, leadership and passion will be a tremendous addition to the region and to our team."
