Escobar will oversee operations for iHeartMedia's five Austin stations. Her previous experience includes serving as President/GM of TelevisaUnivision's Uforia radio outlets in Austin, with a 21-year career spanning roles in sales and management.

Perez will now oversee the seven iHeartMedia San Antonio stations. Perez began her career with Clear Channel in 2000 as a Promotions Coordinator and has since advanced through various sales roles.

In addition, George Flora has been appointed Senior Vice President of Sales for North Texas, after holding a similar position in Austin.

All three leaders will report to Amy Leimbach, President of iHeartMedia's Dallas-Austin-San Antonio region.

They bring strong track records and unique expertise that align with the needs of their respective markets."
