“Getting to work every day with a creative genius like Paul is a privilege,” said Ross MacLeod, PD of BIG 105.9. “The Paul Castronovo Show is a top-rated morning show with a massive following and is part of the Miami community, so knowing listeners get to wake up with Paul for several more years puts a big smile on my face.”Castronovo commented, “I found my radio home at BIG 105.9 a long time ago and love it. How can you call this work? Who else gets to laugh with their buddies for four hours a day and get paid for it? I’m excited to extend my relationship with iHeartMedia Miami for years to come.”
It was also announced that co-host Heather Nelson, who joined the show in 2018, has signed on for another two years.
