Brian Paiz has been named Senior VP/Programming for iHeartMedia Columbus and Albany, GA markets.

Paiz joins iHeartMedia from IBX Media in Greenville, NC where he was the Brand Manager for WRHD-HD2. He helped launch the HD channel in November of 2017 along with 4 other broadcast properties in his past but claims WRHD-HD2 was the most challenging.

“We’re excited to have Brian join our team as his experience and knowledge of multi-format clusters is extensive,” Market President Jennifer Newman said. “Brian’s enthusiasm for the business and his proven winning track record will elevate both Columbus and Albany and grow our already successful stations.”

Brian has over 15 years of broadcast experience with opportunities on-air, in sales, and marketing. He previously worked for iHeart Media (under the Clear Channel banner) as Director of Programming in Columbia, SC, and Macon, Ga. His career started professionally on-air in Charlotte, NC with Power 98 WPEG-FM.
