AJ Lurie Named VP/MM, Beasley New Jersey

• Beasley Media Group announces the appointment of AJ Lurie as Vice President and Cluster Manager of the company’s New Jersey-based radio properties — Mainstream Rock duo WDHA and WRAT (95.9 The Rat), AC WMGQ (Magic 98.3), Classic Hits WJRZ, Oldies WMTR-AM, & Fox Sports affiliate WCTC-AM.

Lurie earns the transfer from his current role as VP/Market Manager of Beasley’s Ft. Myers, FL group, and will succeed Dan Finn, who will officially retire from Beasley at the end of March after a distinguished career in broadcasting.

“AJ’s proven experience, ability to drive results and commitment to localism made him the perfect choice to lead our New Jersey cluster into the future,” said Brian Beasley, EVP/COO, Beasley Media Group.

Prior to taking command of Beasley’s Fort Myers market in Oct. 2020, Lurie served Director of Local Market Integrated Partnerships at Beasley eSports and Market Manager of former AC WJBR/Wilmington, DE. He began his career as an AE at Beasley’s Southwest Florida cluster.

“I look forward to working alongside the talented team in New Jersey to build on their success and continue delivering exceptional results for our listeners, advertisers, and communities,” Lurie said. “I’m honored to follow in the footsteps of Dan Finn, whose legacy of excellence has set a high bar for all of us.”
