Calococci Named PD of KOAS/Las Vegas

• Beasley Media Group welcomes veteran programmer Tom Calococci aboard as the new Program Director of Urban AC KOAS (Jammin’ 105.7)/Las Vegas, starting Monday, April 5. He will succeed Cat Thomas, who recently resigned to pursue a lucrative business opportunity away from radio.

Calococci spent the past four years as an Affiliate Relations ambassador at Sheet Happens in Dallas, but he arrives bearing a lengthy programming resume that includes WERQ (92Q)/Baltimore, KZZP/Phoenix, KBXX (97.9 The Box)/Houston, KKBT (100.3 The Beat)/Los Angeles, Beasley’s WPOW (Power 96) as well as WFLC/Miami.

“We spoke with many talented programmers across the country,” said Peter Burton, VP/Market Manager of Beasley Las Vegas. “Tom’s energy, experience and knowledge of the format came out on top. He’s the perfect choice to complement our incredible team here in Las Vegas!” Beasley’s Chief Content Officer Justin Chase commented, “We know Tom Calococci well, from his time successfully programming Beasley’s Power 96 in Miami several years ago. KOAS is in good hands with this capable programmer. Welcome back, Tom!”

Calococci said, “I’m beyond thrilled to be rejoining the Beasley team. I’m looking forward to working with Peter Burton, Justin Chase and the wonderful people in Las Vegas. I can’t wait to get started!”
