CRS has announced the addition of Audacy Chairman/President and CEO David Field and iHeartMedia CEO Bob Pittman to the newly formed CRS Heads of State Series to be held during CRS 2022 on February 23-25, 2022. Field and Pittman join the list of the industry's most high-profile executives who are already announced, including Beasley Media CEO Caroline Beasley, Hubbard Radio CEO Ginny Morris, Alpha Media President/CEO Bob Proffitt, and Townsquare Media CEO Bill Wilson representing radio.

The CRS Heads of State series will usher attendees into the corner office of the biggest radio and label companies for daily one-on-one conversations throughout the annual 3-day event. Each conversation will share unique insight and global perspective on the current status of the music and broadcast businesses, how they have emerged post-pandemic, and ways their respective companies plan to achieve continued success in the near future.

On September 16 at 1pm CT, CRS will present a preview of what the CRS Heads of State series will entail with the September edition of CRS360. The webinar will feature the four moderators who will forecast what key music and radio challenges these leaders may be facing in 2022, how they have emerged post-pandemic, and ways their respective companies plan to achieve continued success.

CRS will return in-person in 2022 and is set for February 23-25, 2022, at the Omni Nashville Hotel. In-person and virtual registration options are available and can be purchased at www.CountryRadioSeminar.com.
