BEASLEY MEDIA GROUP's Active Rock WMMR/PHILADELPHIA has signed longtime morning personalities PRESTON AND STEVE to a multiyear extension deal that will keep them on the air in PHILADELPHIA through 2030, enabling them to celebrate their 25th anniversary with the station.
PRESTON ELLIOT and STEVE MORRISON have been with the station since 2005. In addition to their show, the two produce a daily full show and highlight episode podcasts, daily/weekly video programs and maintain a remarkable world-wide social media audience.
PRESTON AND STEVE said, “Amongst the multitude of things we have to feel blessed for, the fact that we will be able to continue to work for a company we are proud of alongside people we respect and admire is beyond humbling. We could not be more excited.”
BEASLEY MEDIA GROUP President BRUCE BEASLEY said, “Since the day we bought WMMR, our goal has been to have PRESTON AND STEVE be a part of the station and the BEASLEY Family for as long as they’d like to be. This is a huge step in that direction. They are truly the 'gold standard' by which you can measure all other shows!”
VP and Market Manager JOE BELL said, "I am blown away daily by the level of their show. The preparation, the content and their ability to connect with the audience…it’s truly amazing.”
PRESTON AND STEVE are past recipients of the NAB’s prestigious "Service to America Award" and "2021 National Radio Hall of Fame Inductees", and are known for their philanthropic efforts throughout the PHILADELPHIA area. Their annual "I Bleed for PRESTON AND STEVE" event has been recognized as the nation’s largest single day blood drive. In addition, their "2021 Camp Out for Hunger" produced over 2.3 million pounds of food and over 1 million in cash for PHILABUNDANCE.
