Beasley Media Group announces Afternoon Drive Personality Andre Gardner has signed a multi-year deal to remain at Classic Rock WMGK 102.9 FM in Philadelphia.

Gardner, who recently celebrated his 17th anniversary on the air on Monday, April 15th, originally joined the legendary classic rock station back in April of 2002. He has held the same afternoon drive slot from 2-7pm as well as has hosted the 7-9am Sunday Morning Breakfast with the Beatles Show throughout his tenure at WMGK-FM.

“Andre Gardner is one of the best communicators I’ve ever heard,” said Vice President and Market Manager Joe Bell. “His passion for the music, the audience and life, in general, is contagious!”

“I am beyond thrilled to keep rockin’ Philly’s afternoons on the greatest Classic Rock station in America,” said Gardner. “Many thanks to the Beasley family, Buzz Knight, Joe Bell and Bill Weston for their continued confidence and support!”

“Andre Gardner is king of the DJ hill in Philly,” said WMGK-FM Program Director and Beasley Media Group Rock Format Brand Manager Bill Weston. “No one brings more passion or runs a tighter board with a pervasive knowledge of music. WMGK has benefited from his talents for 17 years.  I am so happy we’re continuing Andre’s nearly two-decade run of success.”
