Pierre Robert Forever At WMMR
• Beasley Media Group announces that legendary longtime 93.3 WMMR/Philadelphia midday personality Pierre Robert has signed yet another a multi-year extension, keeping him around for who knows how long!
Robert joined WMMR in 1981 and over the past four decades has become one of Philly’s most recognizable figures, hosting the WMMR midday show with his trademark “Greetings, Citizens” salutation, and sharing his unabashed love for music, his listeners, and the city, earning him a star on the Philadelphia Music Alliance Walk of Fame.
Robert’s daily features, including Noontime Workforce Blocks, Pierre’s Vinyl Cut, live in-studio performances and On This Day history lessons are enjoyed by a large and dedicated audience. His encyclopedic music knowledge is unparalleled, and his exclusive artist interviews are masterful. Robert is also an active supporter of numerous charitable initiatives.
“Pierre has been a huge part of the fabric of both WMMR and the Philadelphia market for over 40 years,” said VP/Market Manager, Joe Bell. “It’s exciting to see this continue!”
Bill Weston, who recently retired as WMMR PD and Beasley VP of Talent Development, commented, “Continuing Pierre’s relationship with the Philadelphia radio audience, into 2024 and years beyond… is a gift for all this Christmas season and beyond. That fans and co-workers get to continue their friendship with the man who shares his beautiful voice and spirit on the radio every day — is the best present ever!”
Robert remarked, “This is a very cool moment for me knowing I’ll be continuing this radio adventure on ‘MMR. Many thanks to Joe Bell, Bill Weston, and my amazing agent, Steve Mountain from Cornerstone Management for bringing this all together. To paraphrase the Grateful Dead: ‘What a long, strange, and wonderful trip it’s been… and still is!'” [Photo Credit: Brian Miller / Chorus Photography]
