Powers Now Chief Engineer Of Beasley Detroit
• Sherri Powers has been promoted to Chief Engineer of Beasley Media Group’s Detroit radio stations, which include Active Rock WRIF, Classic Rock WCSX, Urban AC WDMK (105.9 Kiss FM) and Rhythmic WMGC (105.1 The Bounce). Ms. Powers, a three-decade industry pro who last month celebrated her 22nd anniversary in the building, most recently served as Assistant Chief Engineer of the cluster.
The veteran broadcast engineer began her career at WCSX and WHND-AM in 1991, where she spent the summer making cables, building a production room and setting up remotes, before landing her first full-time job with former News-Talk 99.5 WOW-FM. After the station flipped to Country WYCD-FM, she served as Assistant Engineer from 1993 to 1998. Powers eventually contracted with former owner Greater Media to build all new studios for WCSX & WRIF, before being hired full-time in 1998.
“We’re so fortunate to have Sherri Powers as an integral member of the Beasley-Detroit Team,” said VP/Market Manager Mac Edwards. “Not only is Sherri highly respected by her colleagues, she epitomizes dedication to her craft and devotion to getting the job done right. Sherri has taken the lead on many significant projects in her storied career here. We look forward to watching her continue to lead as our new Chief.” Beasley Media Group Chief Technology Officer Mike Cooney added, “Sherri has proven herself time and time again and is respected and adored by the staff, and I could not be happier that she has accepted the Chief position.”
“It’s been incredible working in radio over the past 29 years,” said Powers, a graduate of the Broadcast Electronics Program at the Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts in Detroit. “I’ve had the great fortune and privilege of spending a great majority of my career with the incredible Beasley Media Group stations in the Motor City. I’d like to thank Mac Edwards and the incredible people I work with every day for their support!”
