Cumulus Media has promoted Marv Nyren to regional vice president, adding oversight of Minneapolis, Minn., to his current role as vice president/market manager for Chicago, Ill.
Nyren joined Cumulus in 2017 as vice president/market manager for Cumulus Chicago. Before that, he served as vice president of corporate sponsorships for Chicago Public Media’s WBEZ-FM. His previous roles include president/regional vice president for iHeartMedia’s 13 radio stations in Jacksonville, Fla., and Brunswick, Ga., and regional vice president/market manager for Emmis Media, where he oversaw stations in Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix and Indianapolis for 12 years.
“Marv brings a wealth of experience across multiple U.S. markets to this expanded role. Known for his highly effective and impactful leadership in Chicago, Marv will be a tremendous asset to our talented teams and strong brands in the Twin Cities,” said Dave Milner, president of operations at Cumulus Media.
Nyren said, “I’m deeply honored and grateful for the opportunity to lead the Cumulus Chicago team, and now, expanding to the Minneapolis market is truly a dream come true. Being part of both teams is a privilege, and I’m excited to contribute and make a positive impact in both markets.”
Cumulus Media operates three stations in Chicago: Q101/WKQX-FM (alternative), 890 WLS-AM (news/talk) and 94.7 WLS-FM (classic hits). Its Minneapolis stations include 92 KQRS/KQRS-FM (classic rock), 93X/KXXR-FM (rock) and WGVX-FM, WWWM-FM and WLUP-FM — adult contemporary stations broadcasting under the moniker Love 105 FM.
