iHeartMedia has the leading consumer reach and influence across multiple platforms and delivers more live programming than any other media company. As Senior Vice President of Programming, Carr will be responsible for overseeing the programming and content of all eleven radio stations. Additionally, he will serve as Program Director for 98.7 The Gater and Real Radio 92.1. He will report to Mark McCauley, Market President for iHeartMedia West Palm Beach/Treasure Coast.

“We’re excited to bring Jason back home,” said McCauley. “Jason’s market experience in Cleveland and his experience and familiarity of the West Palm Beach and Treasure Coast markets make him a great fit to grow our heritage brands and take them to new heights.”

Carr is being elevated from his previous role at iHeartMedia Cleveland, OH where he served as Program Director of 100.7 WMMS and 106.5 The Lake. He has been employed by iHeartMedia for over 15 years.

“I’m pumped to get in the trenches with this outstanding programming team,” said Carr. “Managing a heritage rock brand like 98.7 The Gater will be a treat. Working alongside world class talent like WOLL’s Mo & Sally will be a treasure. My wild ride of a career started at Real Radio 92.1 and all these year later it is bringing me back to the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast. To say I’m excited is an understatement!”
