WXTU Adds Cruise To Mornings
• Beasley makes it official and proclaims Dave “Cruise” Madden as the new permanent co-host of The Andie Summers Show on Country 92.5 WXTU/Philadelphia. The show has been without a fulltime co-pilot since Frank Lario left last November, and Cruise has served as interim host since January 2 of this year. He previously spent the past year across the hall as APD/afternoon driver on Adult Hits sister WBEN-FM. Before arriving in Philly, Cruise spent four years as APD/afternoon guy at Manning Classic Hits WWEG (106.9 The Eagle)/Hagerstown, MD.
WXTU PD Mark Razz remarked, “When we needed him to step up and handle interim hosting duties for 925XTU, Dave delivered every day. We’re glad to have him on as part of The Andie Summers Show. He worked hard and deserves this opportunity!” Beasley Country Format Brand Manager David Corey seconds that emotion, commenting, “We are thrilled to officially welcome Dave to XTU on a permanent basis. The Andie Summers Show is in great hands!”
An elated Cruise said, “I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to be a part of such an iconic station and to work with such an amazing person like Andie Summers. I’m so thankful to Market Manager Joe Bell, Mark Razz and David Corey for making my dream come true!”
