Beasley Bellwether: VP/DOS Paul Blake has been promoted to Cluster Manager for Beasley/Philadelphia, including WXTU. He succeeds VP/MM Joe Bell, who has departed the company. Blake has been with the cluster for 22 years. In his new role, he reports to company Pres. Bruce Beasley, who says, "His longstanding dedication, insight and leadership is the perfect fit to lead our team into the future."
Bell spent an initial 16 years with Beasley until a station swap brought its Miami cluster under CBS ownership in late 2014 (CAT 10/2/14). He exited the group, which includes WKIS/Miami, a few months later (CAT 7/23/15), and led Brewer/Chattanooga, TN, until rejoining Beasley as Philly MM in 2016 (CAT 12/14/16).
