JVC Media has announced the appointment of Woofy Ramone as Operations Manager of their Fort Walton Beach FL cluster.
Ramone joins JVC after spending 28 years at Cumulus Media’s “99 Rock” 99.5 WKSM Fort Walton Beach until departing in February on his own accord. He will begin at JVC in June overseeing CHR “Q92” 92.1 WECQ Destin, Country “Highway 98.1” WHWY, Variety Hits “102.1 The Wave” WWAV Santa Rosa Beach, and Hot Talk “103.1 Florida Man Radio” WZLB Valparaiso
JVC Media of Florida, one of America’s largest independent and locally owned broadcast and entertainment companies, continues to staff the company with radio pros and industry veterans. JVC announces the addition of Woofy Ramone to the Fort Walton Beach cluster. Woofy is a 30+ year Fort Walton Beach/Destin market legend and former Cumulus Media/WKSM-FM staple. Woofy will serve as Operations Manager overseeing JVC’s WECQ Q92 (CHR), WHWY Highway 98.1 Country, WWAV 102.1 The Wave (Classic Hits), and the new WZLB Florida Man Radio 103.1 (Entertainment Talk).
“JVC’s commitment to the Emerald Coast and all of our markets is to grow our culture of great LOCAL radio for our listeners and clients,” JVC Executive Shane Reeve says. “The addition of Woofy as our Operations Manager for JVC Fort Walton Beach is great for everyone in the market. Woofy is synonymous with the Emerald Coast, having been involved in many local charities, broadcasting and helping listeners through our area’s big hurricanes, and having a top-rated show for almost 30 years. I’m thrilled to work with Woofy again and to have someone of Woofy’s experience and stature on board with the JVC family.”
When asked about his move to JVC and the new Operations Manager responsibilities, Woofy replied, “I moved to the JVC family because I want our work – radio broadcasting, public service, client relationships – all to matter more than those being just a report or bottom line on a spreadsheet. JVC is an organization that still believes in RADIO that entertains and informs the community, while helping local businesses market their products, especially in a time where everything LOCAL needs the most help. I’m excited for what the future holds for the JVC family of stations here on the Emerald Coast!”
JVC’s Florida Director of Programming Stevie DeMann added, “I’m excited Woofy is joining the JVC team! It is going to be fun to watch him lend his knowledge and expertise of the Emerald Coast to our brands and staff. He’s a natural to continue our culture of FUN radio that works for the community, clients, and our loyal listeners!”.
Woofy will start with the JVC team in early June. To reach Woofy, email him at [email protected].
