Bellavia Succeeds Beach @ WBEN/Buffalo
“David is a true representation of an American patriot and the perfect choice to help unite our listeners each morning,” said Tim Holly, SVP/Market Manager, Entercom Buffalo. “David has a bright on-air future ahead of him and we’re excited about his return to the WBEN airwaves.” Bellavia remarked, “I have a deep respect for Sandy Beach and am truly humbled to have my own program on WBEN. My goal is to completely reinvent how local talk radio is perceived and make WBEN the place where Buffalo comes together to start their day.”
