‘Cadillac Jack’ McCartney departs as Director of Programming for Beasley’s Boston cluster and corporate VP/Strategy & Analytics. McCartney has led the Boston cluster for Beasley and predecessor Greater Media since January 2013 after a previous nineteen year run at Clear Channel and its predecessors where he served as OM/PD of CHR “Kiss 108” WXKS-FM and Rhythmic CHR “Jam’n 94.5” WJMN Boston, PD of Hip Hop “Power 105.1” WWPR-FM New York, and Vice President of Programming in New York.

In Philadelphia, Mike Missanelli exits as midday host at Sports “97.5 The Fanatic” WPEN-FM. Missanelli returned to the station in August 2024 after previously hosting afternoons from 2008 until May 2022. Beginning his career as a writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer, he also had a long run in middays at 610 WIP and hosted a Sports talk show on Rock 93.3 WMMR.

At AC “Magic 98.3” WMGQ New Brunswick NJ, Debbie Mazella exits as Program Director/midday host after an eighteen year run. Mazella joined WMGQ as APD/MD in 2007 and rose to PD in 2016. She previously spent eight years as APD/MD/midday host at Hot AC “94.3 The Point” WJLK Asbury Park and as a traffic reporter for Metro Networks in New York and New Jersey. She wrote, “It wasn’t just me; several other super talented and passionate people were also told they would no longer be programming their stations or be on the air. As you know, rock is my preferred genre of music, but I dove into Magic and the pop world and actually became a fan of so many artists that I probably wouldn’t have gravitated toward had it not been for this job.It’s been an honor to have been a part of your workday all these years, and I’m very proud to have had the opportunity to bring Magic into the current world of Hot AC/AC music and see very good ratings, lots of community involvement and I got to work with some really cool humans. Thank you for all the love and support- I will miss being on the air with you every day.”

Rock 105.5 WDHA Dover NJ PD/midday host Terrie Carr is out at the station after two fifteen year stints. Carr first worked at WDHA from 1989 to 2005 where should would rise to PD, and then returned in 2010. In between, she held programming roles at Sirius and Press Communications Alternative “G-Rock Radio” WHTG-FM Eatontown NJ. Carr also worked on-air at WAXQ New York and VH1 Classic.
