Burton To Run Beasley Las Vegas
• Beasley Media Group has named veteran media executive Peter Burton as the new Vice President and Market Manager of the company’s Las Vegas cluster. He succeeds Dennis Gwiazdon, who exits.
Burton was most recently the Chief Operating Officer at Converze Media in Huntington Beach, CA. Before that, Burton spent nine years as VP/GM of Entercom Communications in Los Angeles, which once included the late, great KSWD (100.3 The Sound). He previously served as Director of Sales and General Sales Manager for Lincoln Financial Media in San Diego. Burton’s prior experience includes a 12-year stint in the rep firm business with Katz and CBS that culminated with his appointment as VP/GSM at Sentry Radio Sales in New York City.
“Peter’s leadership experience, combined with his extensive background in digital and sales, made him the perfect choice for the position,” said Brian Beasley, EVP & COO of Beasley Media Group. “We look forward to him taking our Las Vegas cluster to… the next level™.”
Burton said, “Las Vegas is one of the most dynamic growth markets in the country. The Beasley family has assembled a group of radio stations with amazing potential. I’m thankful for the opportunity to join their team.”
