Downsizing Hits iHeart West Palm
• On Tuesday, April 9, the latest round of iHeartMedia restructuring reached West Palm Beach, FL, where RAMP has confirmed the departure of four people, including a couple of four-decade industry pros.
Let’s start at Top 40 WLDI (WiLD 95.5), where PD/afternoon talent Maverick and APD/MD Kelsi have exited. Maverick (pictured) had been in place since October 2015, following a transfer from the PD chair at Top 40 WGMY (107.1 Kiss FM) and Country WTNT/Tallahassee. Maverick previously programmed the late WABB/Mobile and spent a decade in Atlanta, with stops at WWVA (Wild 105.7), WBTS (95.5 The Beat) and WWWQ (Q99.7). Before that he spent five years with KHKS/Dallas. Contact Maverick at 850-228-9948 or MaverickDJ@aol.com, and you can reach Kelsi at 561-714-8629.
The restructuring also extended across the hall, where it caught up with Andy Preston, MD/afternoon talent and a 28-year veteran of Classic Rock WKGR (98.7 The Gater) and Mike Perry, a 20+ year veteran of middays at AC WOLL (Kool 105.5). Mike Perry is seeking his next opportunity and can be reached at mike@mikeperrydj.com.
