Joe Bell will be the new Market Manager for Beasley’s Philadelphia cluster. Beasley picked up four FMs in its $240 million deal with Greater Media: WPEN 97.5 FM — Sports, WMGK 102.9 FM — Classic Rock, WMMR 93.3 FM — Rock, and WBEN-FM 95.7 FM — Adult Hits. Bell worked for Beasley from 1998 to 2014, where he successfully ran radio stations in Ft. Myers and Miami, Florida. Bell replaces John Fullam.
Bell had been the Market Manager for Brewer Media Group in Chattanooga since late 2015. He managed Beasley’s WKIS in Miami from 1999-2005 and took over as Market Manager for the entire cluster in January 2006. He stayed on after Beasley swapped stations with CBS and left in July of 2015.
Bell said, “It’s tremendously exciting to return to Beasley Media to work with the greatest radio brands in Philadelphia. Beasley is experiencing tremendous expansion and I look forward to once again being a part of it.”
“Joe made us proud as he served at the helm of our Miami cluster in charge of an iconic heritage sports station WQAM, in addition to his experience with major personalities at WPOW Power 96, and Miami’s Kiss Country,” remarked President Bruce Beasley. “As our company has grown, we have benefitted tremendously from Joe’s successful team management skills. Joe will hit the ground running in Philly.”
