Beasley Esports, a division of Beasley Media Group, LLC announces James Campbell has been named the new host of the company’s nationally syndicated radio program, CheckpointXP.

The show, heard on 70 radio stations across the United States and Canada on the Sun Broadcast Group Network, is also featured on CheckpointXP.com, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify. Each week, CheckpointXP will feature news that impacts gamers and fans alike, plus share various top-of mind stories from the world of esports & gaming pop culture.

Campbell, best known as the longtime producer of the popular Dave & Chuck The Freak’ morning show, currently heard in Detroit, Boston, Ft. Myers, and Tampa. He will bring his fearless approach, wild opinions and passion for video gaming to his new role on the show!

An “everyday gamer” who has already created a video series, The Casual Gamer and lends his take on comic and gaming pop culture to the Nerd Radio podcast, Campbell is looking forward to taking the conversation on gaming, esports and gaming lifestyle to a national audience.

“I’m very excited to be able to use ‘video game research for work’ as an excuse to my fiancé to get out of house chores!” said Campbell.

The revamped esports and gaming pop culture program line-up will also feature Co-hosts Robbie Landis and Ric “Weird Beard” Hogerheide.

“We are absolutely thrilled to continue the partnership with Beasley Media Group to carry CheckpointXP on the Sun Broadcast Group Network,” said Vice President of Programming & Affiliate Relations, Rich O’Brien. “The show’s new line-up, featuring James, Robbie and Ric, provides stations with an exciting and unique opportunity to reach Gen Y and Z with the very latest lifestyle news and entertainment in the growing esports space!”

In addition to being a part of CheckpointXP, Landis co-hosts Beasley Esports’ OWL’s Nest show with Overwatch League caster, Jake “JAKE” Lyon, where he designates a considerable amount of his time to sharing league analysis and breakdowns with listeners.
