Tampa Demands Maximum Mason Dixon
• Legendary Tampa Bay personality Mason Dixon, whose name is synonymous with Beasley Classic Hits WRBQ (Q105)/Tampa just signed a sweet new three-year renewal to retain his valuable services in morning drive. Dixon is celebrating his unprecedented 41st year in the Tampa-St. Petersburg market, and this marks his 17th year on Q105 during his current tour of duty. He originally worked there from 1976-1989.
“The majority of my life has been Q105,” said Dixon. “They say that when you love what you do, you never work a day in your life… thanks to everyone at Beasley media group, including [Q105 PD] Ted Cannarozzi, [OM] Travis Daily, [VP/Market Manager] Steve Triplett and certainly all of the Beasley Media Group family for giving me the chance to keep never working… oh wait… that doesn’t sound right…uh… letting me keep loving what we do for the Tampa Bay area and Q105! Let the fun continue!”
“Mason Dixon is part of the fabric of the Tampa Bay community,” said Cannarozzi. “We’re thrilled to have him remain the face of Q105 for years to come.” Triplett commented, “Tampa Bay wouldn’t be Tampa Bay without Mason Dixon in the morning. I’m honored to work with him and excited about hearing his show on the air for many years to come!”
