The MD Will See You Now
Jay Dabhi has been promoted to Music Director of CBS Radio Top 40 WBMP (92.3 AMP Radio)/New York. Dabhi also hosts AMP Radio’s weekday afternoon mix show and often broadcasts live on Saturday nights from the metro area’s hottest nightclubs. In his newly enhanced position, Dabhi reports to both Jim Ryan, SVP of Programming for CBS Radio, based in New York, and San Francisco-based Michael Martin, SVP of Programming and Music Initiatives for CBS Radio, who also oversees the company’s 16 Top 40 stations. “Jay is distinctly in tune with what New York’s Top 40 listeners want and expect from 92.3 AMP,” said Martin. “Elevating him to oversee the daily music mix of the station will ensure our listeners are hearing the latest and most popular songs by the biggest artists around.”
Dabhi began his radio career in 2011 as guest mix show DJ on AMP Radio’s previous incarnation as WXRK (92.3 NOW), and he launched the first mix show on 92.3 AMP Radio in 2015. “As a born-and-raised New Yorker, I used to run home from elementary school to record mix shows by the Latin Rascals and Red Alert,” said Dabhi. “I get that same feeling of excitement walking through the doors of 92.3 AMP Radio every day. AMP breaks new music in NYC and I am beyond thrilled to be a part of it. Thank you Michael Martin and Jim Ryan for this amazing opportunity.”
Dabhi is quickly becoming one of NYC’s hottest and most-sought-after DJs. He is credited with breaking Clean Bandit‘s “Rockabye” in the U.S., has served as a guest DJ for the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, and he was the opening DJ for Pitbull‘s Bad Man Tour. Dabhi currently has a residency in Atlantic City and can be heard on Pitbull’s Globalization Channel on SiriusXM.
