Thirty years after joining Beasley Media Group, Tee Gentry is handing off his full-time role in Augusta. Gentry stepped down as Operations Manager and Kicks 99 (WKXC) Program Director on July 31, though he’ll remain with Beasley as a consultant during the transition.
With Gentry’s departure, Chris O’Kelley will serve as interim Program Director for Kicks 99 specifically, continuing his role as the station’s midday host, while Adam Star will oversee programming strategy across the broader cluster.
On WKVC, Cody will expand her on-air responsibilities by taking over Gentry’s afternoon drive duties.
Beasley Media Group Augusta Vice President and Market Manager AJ Lurie said, “Tee Gentry’s commitment to Beasley Media Group, our stations and the communities he has served over the past 30 years has been nothing short of exceptional. His leadership, passion for country radio and dedication to mentoring talent have left a lasting impact on our team and our listeners. We are incredibly grateful that, while Tee is retiring from his full-time role, he will continue to share his experience and insight as a consultant, helping guide our programming strategy, supporting Guitar Pull and strengthening our community relationships during this transition.”
“We also look forward to Chris O’Kelley leading Kicks 99 on an interim basis while Cody steps into afternoons. Together, they bring tremendous experience, energy, and familiarity that will ensure continued success for the station.”
