iHeartMedia launched a new standalone business unit called BIN: Black Information Network. BIN is a national and local news audio service focusing on the Black community while informing those outside the community to help foster communication, accountability and a deeper understanding. Instead of traditional ad-supported media, BIN is supported by founding partners Bank of America, CVS Health, Geico, Lowe's, McDonald's USA, Sony, 23andMe and Verizon. Its markets include Seattle and other cities across the country. Tony Coles, a 35-year radio veteran and iHeartMedia division president, was named president of BIN. Coles was program director at KRWM/KLSY in Seattle from 1999 to 2003.
