Preston & Steve Sticking Around @ WMMR
Beasley Media Group and WMMR/Philadelphia morning duo Preston and Steve have collectively put pen to paper and formalized a sweet multi-year deal extension. And hey, why not — Preston Elliot and Steve Morrison have maintained the top rated morning show position in Philadelphia since they joined the station in May of 2005. “We have always felt honored to be part of the family that makes up this legendary rock radio station and are excited to enter a new chapter with Beasley Media Group,” said Elliot. “Here’s to many more years of rocking in Philadelphia!”
“Beasley Media Group has a long history of believing radio should be live and local,” said company President Bruce Beasley. “Preston and Steve are truly an amazing talent for the Philadelphia market. We’re especially happy to have them to be a part of WMMR over the coming years.” Joe Bell, VP/Market Manager of Beasley Philadelphia commented, “Preston and Steve is one of the nation’s top morning shows and are iconic in Philadelphia. We are excited to be continuing this extraordinary relationship with them.”
Now, the guys’ proud boss, PD Bill Weston remarked, “The Preston and Steve Show is the locomotive that pulls this Crazy Train called WMMR to such high levels of success. This multi-year extension ensures the creativity and hard work they employ every day will continue to fuel WMMR’s success well beyond its 50th anniversary as a rock station coming up in 2018.” Pictured here in a celebratory mood, after scouring through several sales cubicles to find a pen that worked, (l-r): Bill Weston, Preston Elliot, Steve Morrison and Joe Bell.
