In making the formal announcement of DRocc’s elevation, Tee Gentry, Beasley VP of Brand Strategies and Regional OM of the company’s Augusta and Fayetteville stations, said of DRocc, “This guy has worked hard, behind the scenes, as music director for a long time. Now, it’s his time to program the legendary Foxy 99 and the new 107.7 The Bounce. It’s such a pleasure to name DRocc as Program Director of both stations.”
