“We're excited to bring someone of Tony’s caliber to the Central California / Nevada region,” said Glynn Alan, President of iHeartMedia’s Central California/Nevada Region. “His experience and leadership will propel our ratings and revenue growth across the region.”

“I’ve been fortunate to be a part of a group of incredibly talented programmers, on-air talent and managers in the Wichita Market and Omaha Region and together weve accomplished much,” said Matteo. “The outstanding brands built by the iHM Central California / Nevada team have a ton of momentum. I’ll be proud to join and help continue the region’s winning streak.”
