Following last week’s promotion of Paul Blake from VP/Sales to Cluster Manager of its Philadelphia properties, Beasley Media has announced a pair of additional promotions in its sales department.

Jim Antes rises from Director of New Business Development to Director of Sales and Greg Beran is promoted from senior digital AE to Digital Sales Manager.

Antes is on his second stint at the company previously spending fourteen years as General Sales Manager of Rock 93.3 WMMR before moving to Townsquare Media Monmouth/Ocean NJ as Market President/Chief Revenue Officer from 2020-22. He returned to Beasley in January 2023 as Station Manager for AC “Mix 99.5” WJBR Wilmington DE and Web Presence Director for the company’s Philadelphia and Wilmington properties until the sale of WJBR. He also spent three years as Vice President of National Sales for Clear Channel Philadelphia and held sales roles at rep firms Katz Media Group and Eastman Radio.

“I am honored and thrilled to lead this dynamic sales team as the new Director of Sales,” said Antes. “I am truly blessed to represent some of Philadelphia’s most iconic radio stations. With a focus on innovation, customer satisfaction and strategic growth through our audio platforms and digital marketing, I am excited to drive our sales initiatives to new heights. Together, we will build on our success and continue to deliver exceptional value to our clients and listeners. Thank you to the Beasley Family & Paul Blake for having the confidence in me to lead this team.”

Beran joined Beasley Philadelphia in August 2019 after two years at WJBR. He previously held promotions roles at Delmarva Broadcasting Wilmington and CBS Radio Philadelphia. He commented, “I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of the leadership team for these incredible brands. Beasley has created an unmatched culture here in Philadelphia and I look forward to working with this team of marketing experts on growing digital revenue through our full-service approach and creative ideas. Thank you to the Beasley Family & Leadership.”

Paul Blake added on the new promotions, “Jim Antes’ leadership and passion have been a driving influence within our company, making him the perfect choice for Director of Sales. Jim’s ability to inspire and motivate his team, combined with his deep understanding of the market, positions him to lead our sales division to new heights. His exceptional ability to build strong relationships with both advertisers and employees has been instrumental in our success and will continue to drive our growth.” And about Beran, “We are equally excited to highlight Greg Beran’s rising star status as a digital leader. Greg has grown within our company, consistently demonstrating innovative thinking and a keen understanding of the digital landscape. His commitment to excellence and ability to drive digital sales initiatives have set him apart as a dynamic and influential leader. Greg’s promotion to Digital Sales Manager is a testament to his hard work, creativity, and strategic mindset, all of which will play a crucial role in our continued success in the digital arena.”
