He also served as Sales Manager for AMFM/Clear Channel’s WIOQ, WJJZ and WYXR from 1996 to 2002. He will report to Beasley Media President Bruce Beasley taking on many of the responsibilities held by now-former Market Manager Joe Bell.

The Beasley Media Philadelphia cluster includes Rock 93.3 WMMR, Variety Hits “95.7 Ben-FM” WBEN-FM, Sports “97.5 The Fanatic” WPEN, Classic Rock 102.9 WMGK, Christian 800 WTMR, and Brokered Talk 860 WWDB.

Bruce Beasley stated, “Paul is the perfect person to take our Philly-based radio cluster to the next level. His longstanding dedication, insight and leadership is the perfect fit to lead our team into the future. We are thrilled to have him on our team.”

Blake comments, “I am deeply honored and thrilled to take on the role of Cluster Manager for Beasley Media Philadelphia. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Beasley family for their unwavering trust and confidence in me. It is an incredible privilege to lead one of America’s premier groups of radio stations and digital content creators, and I look forward to continuing our tradition of excellence and innovation in the media industry.”

Bell had led the Beasley Philadelphia operations since December 2016. He previously ran Beasley Miami from 1999 through the sale of its cluster to CBS in 2014. He exited CBS in July 2015 and later joined Brewer Media Chattanooga in the same role. Prior to coming to Miami, Bell served as GM of 680 WPTF Raleigh.
