He joined iHeartMedia in 1998, overseeing the sales teams for its Mobile market for 15 years before becoming the Market President for Mobile, Biloxi and Pensacola. He was recently elected on the board of Alabama Broadcasters Association.

Bloodworth will be responsible for all operations across the Birmingham, Gadsden, Huntsville, Montgomery, and Tuscaloosa markets. He'll also continue to oversee the Biloxi, Hattiesburg, Jackson, Laurel, Memphis, Mobile, Pensacola and Tupelo.

"This is a very exciting announcement to bring these markets together; the alignment of these outstanding leaders, talent, teammates and communities are set up to truly flourish," said iHeartMedia Division President Shosh Abromovich. "Ronnie's culture-first attitude, drive for success and high bar he sets for himself and his team will take this newly combined Area to all new levels of achievement and opportunity."

"Helping people identify their strengths, find their motivation and then achieve their goals is something I have enjoyed from Day 1. Helping our teams in Mobile, Pensacola, Memphis and Mississippi find their stride and excel is something I take pride in," added Bloodworth. "We strive to be the best in the business and enjoy what we do and where we do it. I look forward to having the high quality and high performing teams across the state of Alabama join us as I move into this new role."
