Granato Joins Renda Ft. Myers
Steve Granato has joined Renda Broadcasting as PD of the company’s four-station group in Ft. Myers-Naples-Marco Island, FL — WWGR (Gator Country 101.9), Adult Hits WJGO (102.9 BOB FM), Hot AC WSGL (Mix 104.7) and FM Talk WGUF. Granato was most recently SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia’s Youngstown, OH cluster and PD of Top 40 WAKZ (Kiss 95.9) and AC WMXY (Mix 98.9). He was also a longtime air talent on iHeartMedia’s WWSW (3WS)/Pittsburgh and he programmed WLZT/Columbus, OH in the early ‘2000s.
The move marks a return to the Renda family for Granato, who was OM of Renda’s WSHH/Pittsburgh in the early ’90s. “It’s great to be back with Renda Broadcasting,” Granato said. “I’m looking forward to providing a great product to the listeners of Southwest Florida.”
GM Tony Renda, Jr., remarked, “We are very happy to have Steve back with us. He brings a wealth of large market experience to our four diverse brands.” Granato can now be reached at SGranato@rendabroadcasting.com. He succeeds Randy Savage, a 20-year Renda pro who was recently named OM of Cumulus Media’s five-station group in Wilkes-Barre-Scranton, PA.
