He begins his new adventure on Monday, August 3.

From 2009-2012 Jameson worked for CBS Radio Atlanta as PD of Triple A WZGC (92.9 Dave FM), corporate VP of Adult Rock programming and Executive Producer of the Atlanta Falcons Radio Network. He has also worked for Jacobs Media, and notably spent 15 years with Clear Channel Indianapolis as Director of FM Programming for Classic Rock WFBQ and Alternative WRZX.

“Scott’s outstanding reputation and deep rock radio background, combined with his excellent track record in programming multiple formats quickly made him the absolute perfect choice to lead our teams in the Motor City,” said VP/Market Manager Mac Edwards. “We are thrilled to welcome him to the Beasley Media Group family!” Beasley Chief Content Officer Justin Chase commented, “Rarely do you come across a programmer like Scott, who has such a high level of experience, strategic vision and passion for our business. Best of all, his core values of great locally focused radio with an emphasis of growing our digital platforms made him a perfect fit for our company. We’re very happy to have him in the Beasley family in Detroit!”

Jameson remarked, “Joining Beasley Media Group in Detroit is a terrific opportunity. The Midwest is home for me, so it’s a natural fit. The legendary WRIF and heritage WCSX, joined with The Bounce, Kiss, and Praise boast exceptional talent across all five brands. Adding Beasley’s commitment to the community, along with an aggressive digital presence, turns listeners into fans. I’m thankful to Justin Chase for approaching me about the Detroit situation and grateful to Mac Edwards and Brian Beasley for their endorsement.”
