Mijo Upped To PD of Power 96/Miami
• UPDATED: Entercom makes it official and formally promotes Miguel “Mijo” Irizarry to Program Director of WPOW (Power 96)/Miami, effective immediately. He has been serving as Interim PD since July.
“Mijo’s passion for radio and for Power 96 is unmatched,” said Keriann Worley, SVP/Market Manager, Entercom South Florida. “We are pleased to elevate him to the role of Program Director and look forward to the station’s continued growth under his leadership.”
A second-generation broadcaster, Mijo began his radio career at Cumulus Rhythmic WWKX (Hot 106.3)/Providence in 2010. Following a stint in nights at the former WRDW (Wired 96.5)/Philadelphia (now Entercom Hot AC WTDY), Mijo went to work for Mainestream Media Rhythmic WHTP (Hot 104.7)/Portland, ME in the multiple roles of MD, afternoon jock, Imaging Director and Mix Show Coordinator. He joined Power 96 to do nights in August 2017.
Commenting on his upgrade, Mijo said, “I am thrilled and honored to take on the role of Program Director. There’s a unique renaissance movement happening in South Florida, and Power 96 leads the way. We’re going back to our roots and treating our brand like the boutique radio station it was designed to be. The Power 96 staff aren’t just coworkers — they’re family.”
• Concurrent with his elevation to PD, Mijo will move up from nights to middays, and with that, Power 96 is now seeking a new evening entertainer with MD stripes.
Power 96 is seeking a personality that can connect with listeners on-air, via social media & on-site. Our ideal candidate enjoys being the center of attention, checks their social media constantly, has brilliant writing and production skills, enjoys today’s Rhythmic & Top 40 music, and has prior programming experience, because the night jock spot comes with Music Director duties. If you make the cut you’ll be asked to provide an audio demo or links to video demos.
Qualified candidates should study up on the gig’s requirements and apply online via the Entercom Careers portal (Ref#: 30883). Entercom Miami is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
