iHeartMedia has named Ann Marie Licata as CEO of its Multiplatform Group, the company's largest operating segment.

The Multiplatform Group encompasses the company's Markets Group, which includes more than 860 local broadcast radio stations, as well as its live events and sponsorships division, radio networks businesses including Premiere Networks and Total Traffic & Weather Network (TTWN), the Enterprise Business Development Group, and its data targeting and attribution platforms for broadcast radio. Licata previously served as President of the Markets Group and Sales Operations.

In conjunction with the appointment, the company promoted Bernie Weiss to President of the Markets Group. Weiss will oversee operations across iHeartMedia's 160 markets. He previously held the role of Chief Operating Officer of the Markets Group.

Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia, said Licata will lead growth and innovation initiatives across the company's largest segment, noting its role in developing newer business areas such as podcasting, the iHeartRadio digital platform, and live events.

Rich Bressler, President and COO, added that Licata assumes the role at a key time as the company continues to operate across its three divisions: the Multiplatform Group, Digital Audio Group, and Audio and Media Services Group. The latter two divisions will continue to be led by Conal Byrne and Mark Gray, respectively.

Under the new structure, Julie Donohue, President of the Enterprise Development Group, and Julie Talbott, President of Premiere Networks, will now report directly to Licata.
