“Over the past 45 years in radio, I’ve felt lucky to go to ‘work’ and help create, inform, and entertain our listeners,” said Weston. “I’m equally fortunate to have done so working alongside so many talented and passionate people. It’s been a privilege and I thank each and every one for their part in my success.”

“The decades of WMGK’s playlist lines up perfectly with the long-time relationships I have with the station’s on-air hosts,” said Johnson. “I’ve known Nighttime Host Tony Harris since the ‘70s, afternoon host Andre Gardner since the ‘80s, and I worked with Matt Cord at Y100 in the 90s! I can’t wait to join the team and get started on a station that I’ve been a fan of for many decades! Thank you, Joe Bell, Bill Weston, Bruce Beasley and Justin Chase, for this amazing opportunity!”

Damico, who started at the station as an intern nearly three decades ago, worked his way up the ladder at WMMR, serving as Music Researcher, Programing Assistant, part-time On-Air Personality, Promotion Director, Morning Show Technical Producer before becoming Assistant PD in 2004.
“I’m very excited that I have finally completed my 29-year job interview,” said Damico. “Seriously though, WMMR is the top rock station in the world, and I am truly honored to be the next PD. It’s a dream come true.”
➤A new Program Director for 97.5 The Fanatic will be announced later this year.
“Losing a legendary programmer like Bill is tough, but fortunately, we have a couple of veteran PDs in Chuck and EJ ready to step in and keep these great brands moving forward,” said Beasley Media Group Vice President and Market Manager Joe Bell.
