Ocean In Motion, Vizza Too
• After nearly 4½ years as Director of Affiliate Relations with Sheet Happens Prep Service, industry pro Danny Ocean announced his impending exit from that position, effective Friday, March 17. Ocean commented, “It has been rewarding and a great experience which has allowed me to reconnect with my radio roots and establish a wider network of contacts that has given me the opportunity to select from several new exciting opportunities. For the immediate future, I plan to continue my duties hosting as a weekend/swing personality at WBEB (101.1 MORE FM)/Philadelphia, as I have for the past five years.”
Ocean previously spent five years as VP/Director of Operations at The Radio Agency. His 30-year radio career also includes programming and on-air stops at WMC-FM (FM 100)/Memphis, WKCI (KC101)/New Haven, WJMN (Jam’n 94.5)/Boston, the former KZQZ (Z95.7)/San Francisco, Z100/New York and WIOQ (Q102)/Philadelphia. Ocean’s immediate plans include a long overdue vacation with his family. After that he will announce his next move and can be reached at 610-585-8467 or danny.ocean@verizon.net.
