BEASLEY Active Rock WRXK (96K-ROCK)/FORT MYERS PD/midday host JEFF ZITO is moving to sister Classic Rock WPBB (98.7 THE SHARK)/TAMPA-ST. PETERSBURG as APD/Afternoon Drive Host. The move is a return for ZITO to 98.7, where he served as PD in 2016-17 when the station was WBRN (98.7 NO RULES ROCK). ZITO will assist PD TED KAMIKAZE at THE SHARK.
“JEFF brings a wealth of rock radio knowledge,” said KAMIKAZE. “Having him join Operations Manager TRAVIS DAILY and myself completes my programming dream team for the station!”
“JEFF is a great rock programmer, a creative powerhouse, and an all-around fun guy,” said Market Manager STEVE TRIPLETT. “I loved working with him during his last tour of duty in TAMPA and am thrilled to have him back!”
“I’m excited to join my mentor, TED KAMIKAZE, back in Tampa at 98.7 THE SHARK,” said ZITO. “I want to thank JUSTIN CHASE, TRAVIS DAILY, STEVE TRIPLETT and the BEASLEY family for allowing me this incredible opportunity to grow within the company I’ve had the privilege to work for over the past 20 years. I can’t wait to get started, but, will miss my radio family in FORT MYERS.”
That also leaves 96K-ROCK looking for a new PD/midday host in FORT MYERS. Send inquiries to OM ADAM STARR at adam.starr@bbgi.com.
