Carr Circles Back To South Florida

• iHeartMedia has tapped Jason Carr, PD of the legendary “Buzzard,” WMMS/Cleveland and Adult Hits WHLK (106.5 The Lake) to accept a promotion and transfer back to sunny South Florida as SVP of Programming for the company’s 11-station West Palm Beach-Treasure Coast group.

In addition to his extensive SVP duties, Carr will also program Classic Rock WKGR (98.7 The Gater) as well as the station where he got his first big break — FM Talk WZZR (Real Radio 92.1). Carr will report to Mark McCauley, Market President for iHeartMedia West Palm Beach-Treasure Coast, who said, “We’re excited to bring Jason back home. Jason’s market experience in Cleveland and his experience and familiarity of the West Palm Beach and Treasure Coast markets make him a great fit to grow our heritage brands and take them to new heights.”

Carr said, “I’m pumped to get in the trenches with this outstanding programming team. Managing a heritage rock brand like 98.7 The Gater will be a treat. Working alongside world-class talent like WOLL’s Mo & Sally will be a treasure. My wild ride of a career started at Real Radio 92.1 and all these year later it is bringing me back to the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast. To say I’m excited is an understatement!”
