Burger And Rise: iHeartMedia/Raleigh SVP/Sales Michael Burger has been named Market Pres. He succeeds Alan Kirshbom, who has departed after four years with the cluster. "Michael is a strong natural leader with high business acumen,” says Division Pres. Tom McConnell, to whom Burger reports. “He has introduced new strategic changes and created synergies between our content creators and revenue drivers that have helped fuel the overall performance for the market." Burger joined the cluster last year (CAT 8/13/21) after five years in the SVP/Sales role at iHeartMedia/St. Louis.
