iHeartMedia Philadelphia has appointed Jeff Hurley as Senior Vice President of Programming, overseeing a portfolio that includes 105.3 WDAS-FM, WUSL-FM (Power 99), WRFF (ALT 104.5), WIOQ (Q102), WUMR (Rumba 106.1), and Fox Sports The Gambler.

In the new role, Hurley will lead programming operations across the Philadelphia market while continuing his current responsibilities as Executive Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia regions including Upstate New York, the Mid-Atlantic, and New England. He will report to Thea Mitchem, Executive Vice President of Programming.

Mitchem said Hurley brings a strong track record of leadership and strategic programming expertise, citing his ability to strengthen station brands and develop teams as key factors in the appointment.

Hurley called the move a "dream come true," noting his Pennsylvania roots and the significance of the stations within the community. He added that he looks forward to working with Market President Derrick Corbett and the local teams to build on the stations' growth in the years ahead.

The appointment comes as Corbett transitions to Vice President of Programming, where he will focus on the continued development of WDAS-FM and Power 99.
