Colleen Grant
iHeartMedia announced today that Colleen Grant has been named Metro President for Detroit, effective immediately. iHeart’s Detroit cluster encompasses six stations comprised of music and news formats.
As President, Grant will be responsible for overseeing strategic partnerships across the region, building strong community relationships, and the growth of revenue across all platforms and stations ratings. She will report to Tom McConnell, Division President for iHeartMedia.
“Colleen has been instrumental to the success in Detroit,” said McConnell. “She has created a culture of high performance, accountability and respect and is the perfect choice to lead the Detroit market.”
Grant most recently served as the Senior Vice President of Sales for the Detroit Metro. In addition, she also served as the Region Vice President of Automotive for iHeartMedia’s Detroit Region, and Co-Host of iHeartMedia-Detroit’s Public Service Program, “Light Up the D.”
“This is a childhood dream come true for me,” said Grant. “Having a father who was the General Manager of television stations, I’d always wanted to oversee stations as he did. I saw the care for people it required, the creativity necessary to generate growth, and his commitment to the community. These are the things I plan to bring to this opportunity and I couldn’t be more excited to do it.”
