• iHeartMedia has named Ross MacLeod as Program Director for Classic Rock WBGG (BIG 105.9)/Miami, effective immediately.

The dynamic team at BIG 105.9 has made an incredible mark in the Miami community and I can’t wait to work and collaborate with the iHeartMedia Miami team and contribute to the stations ongoing success.”
