Calder Named OM For Beasley/Tampa
Former Audacy Classic Hip-Hop WPOW/Miami Dir./Programming & Operations and Hot AC sister WOMX/Orlando Brand Mgr. Will Calder has been named OM for Beasley's six-station Tampa cluster, including WQYK. He succeeds Rick Thomas, who stepped down June 1 to spend more time with family (CAT 5/19). "Few people understand Florida radio as well as Will does," says Beasley/Tampa VP/MM Ron deCastro. "His track record of building successful brands, leading high-performing teams and connecting with audiences makes him a tremendous addition to our leadership team." Calder's prior Florida programming roles include WPYO/Orlando and WPOI/Tampa.
