Beasley Inspires Young Broadcasters
Beasley Media Group, in conjunction with Xperi and Marketron Digital, have partnered with the National Radio Talent System to present the Beasley Radio Talent Institute, which is designed as a talent incubator and farm system for aspiring broadcasters. The ten-day immersion program will officially debut in the summer of 2018 at Emerson College in Boston.
“As a company, we are absolutely committed to supporting and encouraging the development of new talent in our company and our industry,” said Caroline Beasley, CEO of Beasley Media Group. “The Beasley Radio Talent Institute further underscores this commitment and provides an incredible incubator for developing tomorrow’s leaders today. We look forward to members of our incredible teams at ALT 92.9, Hot 96.9, WKLB, WROR and WMJX being involved in this important initiative.”
Jack Casey, Adjunct Professor at Emerson College and GM of Emerson’s influential WERS-FM said, “The Radio Talent Institute builds upon the quality education students are already receiving at their academic institutions and through working at their college radio stations. We are grateful to Beasley Media Group for providing this incredible opportunity, along with other forward-thinking companies such as Xperi and Marketron Interactive.”
Dan Vallie, Founder and President of the National Radio Talent System remarked, “We are thrilled to bring the Beasley Radio Talent Institute to Boston. From the beginning, Caroline Beasley grasped the vision we had for the program and immediately stepped up. They are a company that does the right thing in our industry.” The application process for students from across the region will begin this fall. The National Radio Talent System will also be reaching out to broadcasting pros in Boston and the state of Massachusetts to teach sessions at the Institute.
