Big Machine Label Group’s Clay Hunnicutt has exited his role as EVP/Label Operations after a five year stint with the label.

Hunnicutt first joined BMLG as GM in 2019, and was promoted to EVP/Label Operations in January 2024. As EVP/Label Operations, he focused on business development, expanding the label group’s ventures, cultivating partnerships and prioritizing catalog initiatives. Before joining BMLG, he served as President and Partner for Big Loud. While there, he headed a team responsible for developing and promoting chart-topping artists like Jake Owen and Morgan Wallen.

With 27 years of experience in radio, he has also worked as a Program Director across the Southeast, including Nashville and Atlanta, before taking charge of Clear Channel’s national programming efforts. In 2014, iHeartMedia appointed Hunnicutt as Executive Vice President and General Manager of National Programming Platforms, as well as Vice President and Brand Manager of Country Programming.

“Moving on is always bittersweet,” he tells Country Aircheck. “While I’m so very proud of everything we accomplished at Big Machine, I’m equally as excited about what the future could hold for me. My destination is unknown for now, but the next steps of the journey start here.”

Hunnicutt’s next opportunity has not been revealed. You can reach him here.
