And there’s more: 99 Jamz morning co-host DJ Nasty and Hot 105 afternoon drive co-host Shelby Rushin have been promoted to Assistant Program Director of their respective stations.
“For years, Phil has made innumerable contributions to our market’s success and has earned this position through his passion for excellence and clear performance,” said Ralph Renzi, VPGM of CMG Miami. “It’s an honor to witness his growth, and I’m excited to see him perform in this new role.”
A native of Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood, Michaels-Trueba began his career with CMG in 1991 and most recently served as Director Of Branding & Programming for Hot 105 and 99 Jamz. “I’m thrilled about this opportunity and continue to be inspired by the talented people I have the privilege of working with every day,” said Michaels-Trueba. “There’s already an unparalleled synergy among our Miami stations. I look forward to working with our teams to amplify this special connection and drive even more success across these four radio brands.”
Commenting on the APD upgrades for DJ Nasty (left) and Shelby Rushin (right), Michaels-Trueba noted, “It’s rewarding when you can promote from within your organization. DJ Nasty and Shelby know and understand the format, the market, and our listeners which is key in continuing our success. Their connection to South Florida and their vision and strategic approach draw on each of the brand’s rich legacies and position these stations for continued success.”
