iHeartMedia has announced that longtime Mansfield and Marion Market President Margie Tasseff will retire effective June 1, ending a nearly 40-year career with the company.

Tasseff currently oversees seven stations in Mansfield and three stations in Marion. She has served as Market President for the Mansfield operation for the past 15 years and added leadership responsibilities for the Marion cluster in 2021.

According to the company, Tasseff helped guide the markets through periods of growth and transition while maintaining a focus on local programming, community partnerships and charitable initiatives throughout north central Ohio.

"Margie's passion for this business, her commitment to the Mansfield and Marion communities and the relationships she built over nearly four decades have left an incredible mark on our company and everyone fortunate enough to work alongside her," said Matt Bell. "She has been a trusted leader, mentor and advocate for both our employees and our partners, and her presence will truly be missed."

A graduate of Ashland University, Tasseff began her broadcasting career as an account executive at WDBN before moving to WNIR. She later joined WMAN and Y105 in Mansfield, eventually advancing from account executive to sales manager and later Market President.

Outside broadcasting, Tasseff has been active in local organizations, including serving on the board of the Buckeye Imagination Museum and as vice president of the Ohio District 5 Area Agency on Aging.

Reflecting on her career, Tasseff said, "Spending 39 years with one employer is truly uncommon. I'm deeply proud of what we've built together over the years - from the friendships and partnerships to the impact we've made through local radio."
