‘Get Me Chuck Beck!’
• Yesterday we told you veteran programmer Chuck Beck had exited as OM of Renda Broadcasting’s Jacksonville group after 11 years. Beck is now ready to strategically deploy his 30+ years of unique programming acumen for [your company name here]. Those decades of valuable experience includes programming the late, legendary Y95/Dallas with Mark Driscoll and Buzz Bennett. “What a blast that was!” said Beck, who also propelled WDFX/Detroit from 13th to 3rd in its first book. “Paul Jacobs was the GM of Y95 and WDFX,” Beck notes.
And there’s more — Beck also programmed the late, great WAVA/Washington when Don & Mike reigned. He also signed on Rock 103.5/Chicago, consulted with Alan Burns and Associates, and served as OM for Cox Tampa for a decade prior to his recent 11-year stint with Jacksonville Renda, where he oversaw Country WGNE (99.9 Gator Country) and the market’s longtime No. 1 station, AC WEJZ. His passion for radio is unquestioned, but we love it anyway when Beck exclaims, “I love this business!” Savvy and motivated broadcast professionals are urged to reach out and have a conversation with Mr. Beck before someone else does — hit him up at cjb11@protonmail.com.
