98Rocks With AJ Malone

• iHeartMedia Tampa Bay keeps it firmly in the family and promotes AJ Malone to the plush PD chair at Active Rock WXTB (98Rock), effective immediately. Ms. Malone has served as APD of 98Rock since August 2017. She’s also a member of Crash Mornings and does middays. Her previous experience includes a stint as PD o WXSR/Tallahassee, FL and Production Director at WOLT/Indianapolis.

Malone reports to Tommy Chuck, SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia Tampa Bay, who commented, “As Assistant Program Director, AJ has played a key role in driving great ratings and revenue gains for 98Rock. This upgrade in role and responsibilities is one she has certainly earned!”

Malone remarked, “I’m honored to be at the helm of the legendary 98Rock. The past seven months have been a dream come true! Thank you to everyone involved for giving me the opportunity to continue to grow my career with iHeartMedia.” Malone’s promotion takes some of the load off of Regional SVP of Programming Rick Everett, who had been handling WXTB PD duties from Orlando.
