‘EJ’ Johnson Named PD of WJBR/Wilmington

• Eric “EJ” Johnson has returned to the Beasley family as the newly named Program Director and afternoon personality for AC WJBR (Mix 99.5)/Wilmington, DE, starting Wednesday, July 1.

Johnson most recently spent two years as Director of Sports Content at Beasley Sports-Talk WPEN (97.5 The Fanatic)/Philadelphia until last November. Before that he enjoyed a 19-year run as Brand Manager and Program Director at Townsquare Media Talk WKXW (New Jersey 101.5)/Trenton, NJ. Earlier in his career Johnson worked in Philadelphia as APD of Sports-Talk WIP-FM and PD of the late WPLY (Y100).

“WJBR has been a market leader in Wilmington for decades and with EJ at the helm, we’re confident that the station will continue that tradition,” said Joe Bell, VP/Market Manager of Beasley Media Group Philadelphia.

Beasley Chief Content Officer Justin Chase commented, “EJ’s many years of multi-format experience in the Delaware Valley makes him the perfect fit for a heritage station like WJBR. We are very pleased to have him back at Beasley.”

Johnson said, “Thank you to Joe Bell, Justin Chase and Bruce Beasley for bringing me back to the family. I’m looking forward to working with the Beasley management team and the talented staff at Mix 99.5 WJBR in serving our listeners and the community! The station has such a rich heritage in Wilmington and the tri-state area and has a tremendous signal. We will make it shine!”
