iHeartMedia has announced the arrival of Stefan Schellhas as its new Cincinnati Market President.
Schellhas joins iHeartMedia from Sinclair Broadcast Group where he was General Manager for WKRC-TV and WSTR-TV Cincinnati since June 2023. He previously held roles as Station Manager, Director of Sales, General Sales Manager and Local Sales Manager for the TV stations. He will report to Dave Carwile, Division President of the Midwest and Southeast for iHeartMedia.
Carwile said, “We’re thrilled to welcome Stefan Schellhas as the new Market President for iHeartMedia Cincinnati. Stefan brings not only a strategic vision and proven leadership, but also a deep-rooted understanding of the Cincinnati market. Having spent years building relationships and driving results across the region, he knows the pulse of the city and what resonates with our listeners and advertising partners. His passion for the community, combined with his commitment to innovation and team development, makes him the ideal leader to guide our Cincinnati brands into the future.”
Schellhas commented, “My career started with an internship at 700 WLW, so returning truly feels like coming full circle. While consumer media habits—driven by technology—have evolved exponentially, what hasn’t changed is that ‘content is king,’ and iHeart continues to lead the way in the audio space. I’m honored to work alongside such a passionate team here in Cincinnati, and together we’ll continue to serve our advertisers and the Greater Cincinnati community.”
Schellhas fills the positioned opened by DJ Hodge’s exit as Division President overseeing Cincinnati and Pittsburgh in August.
