Leonard Upped To OM, WJBR/Wilmington

• Beasley Media Group has promoted Chris Leonard to Operations Manager at AC WJBR (Mix 99.5)/Wilmington, DE.

This new position marks just the latest well deserved upgrade on Leonard’s successful Beasley journey — a Wilmington native, Leonard joined WJBR as a part-time promotions assistant and fill-in air talent, before being elevated to Promotions & Events Director in 2017 and adding APD stripes in 2020. In his new OM role, Leonard will continue to handle promotions and event marketing for the station, including overseeing the annual Bridal Expo and the Help Our Kids Radiothon.

“Chris is truly one of those people who can ‘do it all’ — and do it all well,” said VP/Market Manager Joe Bell. “His promotion to Operations Manager for WJBR is huge for the station’s continued growth!”

PD Eric Johnson noted, “When you put creative and logistic talent together and throw in an amazing work ethic, it’s an unstoppable force… That’s Chris Leonard!  Plus, he cares deeply about this community and our radio station. There really is no one more qualified for this position. Bravo, Chris!”

Leonard commented, “I love that I get to work with a company that believes in me. Working for the Beasley family is an honor and I am beyond excited to collaborate with the team to continue the incredible growth of Mix 99.5.”
