Beasley Media has made a series of staffing moves at its Fort Myers FL cluster.

At AC “Sunny 106.3” WJPT, Joe Winner joins the station as APD and midday host. Winner previously held those duties at sister CHR “B103.9” WXKB Cape Coral and will continue to serve as APD there. Winner fills the midday slot that had been held by Shiela Book as she moves to mornings after fifteen years in the midday shift.

Former “B103.9” morning co-host Shandra ‘Babs’ Littleton will return to the station to track middays. Babs moved from WXKB to middays at Beasley’s “Wild 94.1” WLLD Lakeland/Tampa in March 2019 and will now handle those duties at both stations.

At Rock “96 K-Rock” 96.1 WRXK Bonita Springs, Jeff Zito regains the Program Director title for the third time. Zito also currently serves as APD/afternoon host at Classic Rock”98.7 The Shark” WPBB Holmes Beach/Tampa. He previously programmed WRXK from January 2015 to May 2016 and again from December 2016 to March 2019 when he moved to WPBB. In between his first two stints leading WRXK, Zito programmed the “98.7 No Rules Rock” WBRN-FM incarnation in Tampa. He also co-hosted mornings at Alternative “99X” WJBX from 1999 to 2012.

To help assist Zito locally, Marija Puidak joins WRXK as Programming Coordinator and midday host. Puidak joined WRXK as a weekend host in November 2020 after hosting mornings at Rock “93X” 93.7 WXNX until its flip to Country last September.

John Larson, who joined the company as Program Director of WRXK and WJPT and morning host at WJPT last September, has exited after seven months. Larson previous spent fifteen years as Director of Branding and Programming for Cox Media Group’s WDUV, WWRM, and WXGL Tampa until 2019 and also previously programmed KDGE and KZPS Dallas as well as stations in Detroit, Phoenix, Washington DC, Chicago and St. Louis.
