Philly Radio: Beasley's Natalie Conner Sets Retirement

Natalie Conner
Beasley Broadcast has announced the retirement of Vice President and Market Manager Natalie Conner, who oversees Country WXTU 92.5 FM and WRDW 96.5 FM Wired in Philadelphia.

The company is actively pursuing a replacement for Conner, who will remain with Beasley Broadcast in her current role until a new general manager is named and then as a consultant.

Conner joined Beasley Broadcast and entered the Philadelphia market in 1991 as a national sales manager for the Company. In the ensuring years, she worked her way up to vice president and general manager of WXTU in 2004 and then was again promoted in 2009 to vice president and market manager for the Philadelphia market stations WXTU and Rhythmic leader WRDW.

A radio veteran with over 34 years of hands-on experience, Natalie’s career began in Little Rock, in her home state of Arkansas. She gravitated early-on to sales, establishing herself as dynamic sales director in Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma and ultimately Philadelphia.

With a broadcasting career steeped in professional and charitable contributions, Natalie currently serves the board of the Country Music Association and is a past board member of the Country Radio Broadcasters and the Caron Foundation.

Natalie Conner commented, “My time with Beasley, with WXTU and more recently with Wired 96.5 has offered me an amazing career. Our Philadelphia staff is incredible; this team is the best, hands down.  I’ve been so fortunate to succeed in an industry that I truly love, with amazing people by my side and a dedicated corporate team in Naples, FL (my future home!). None of this would be possible without the Beasley family. Bruce Beasley hired me 23 years ago and it’s been one heck of a beautiful journey ever since. I am very blessed.”
