“Having known both Dawn and Jim for years, I can say wholeheartedly that these promotions are extremely well deserved on both fronts,” said Cadillac Jack, Beasley Media Group Boston Director of Programming. “Dawn has been an integral part of the fabric of Country 102.5 for over a decade, and both her work ethic and strong leadership speak for themselves! Jim has a well-established track record as an excellent music director for winning brands, which he will continue here! Country 102.5 is lucky to have their many talents with us for years to come!”

Santolucito said, “I would like to thank the Beasleys, Justin Chase, Cadillac Jack and Mary Menna for this great opportunity. Country 102.5 is a special station, near and dear to my heart.
