With Moore’s new role as Market President, iHeartMedia Philadelphia also announced today that Squire has been promoted to Senior Vice President of Sales. As Senior Vice President of Sales, Squire will be responsible for overseeing all sales operations for the Philadelphia market that delivers a strong return on investment for clients reaching consumers through iHeartMedia’s assets, including on-air, online, social media and live events. He will report to Moore. Squire previously served as a General Sales Manager at Townsquare Media in Trenton/Princeton and as a Station Manager for 105.3 WDAS FM.
