iHeartMedia Chairman and CEO Bob Pittman portrays himself as a media titan.

Yet, with iHeart — America’s biggest radio station operator — fighting to avoid bankruptcy, Pittman’s thoughts are dead air, a source close to the situation said.

Reps from iHeart owners Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners have been present at creditor meetings — including a key one last week to address iHeart’s $20 billion of debt — with no signs of Pittman, the source said.

Pittman, who has been chief of the troubled company since 2011, seems to have tuned out recently. iHeart declined comment.
