Philly Radio: WXTU's Shelly Easton Honored As Best Country PD

Shelly Easton

Shelly Easton has been chosen as Radio Ink’s top Country Program Director for 2017. Easton has been a part of the radio industry since 1987 and at WXTU 92.5 FM as PD since January 1, 2009. She’s been programming Country radio for two decades.

Easton says her biggest accomplishment over the past year has been putting a talented group of caring professionals into the best positions possible to succeed. “If it’s not my greatest achievement it’s certainly what I love most about my job. Thanks to the efforts of our team, 2016 was a great year: We relaunched a morning show. We achieved our highest cume on the radio station in over a decade and we juggled roughly a thousand live station-produced events. The team makes it look easy, but I assure you it’s hard work.”

CBS Radio Philadelphia Market Manager David Yadgaroff told Radio Ink, “Shelly has earned an important place in the country music industry, similar to the level of respect of a top artist.”

Yadgaroff adds: "Shelly has led 92.5 WXTU in Philadelphia and built the XTU brand into a nationally-recognized leader in the Country format. The on-air product she creates is surpassed only by the leadership she displays inside CBS RADIO Philadelphia on a daily basis.”
