Scarano Named VP/MM, Beasley Detroit
• Beasley Media Group has named Matt Scarano as VP/Market Manager of its Detroit group — Active Rock WRIF, Classic Rock WCSX, Urban AC WDMK (105.9 Kiss FM), and Classic Hip Hop WMGC (105.1 The Bounce).
Scarano arrives in the Motor City bearing more than two decades of experience leading large radio and media operations, most recently as Region President for iHeartMedia in Chicago until Nov. 2024, when he was part of a largescale companywide restructuring. Scarano earlier held senior leadership roles with Clear Channel, serving as Market President and Director of Sales in Atlanta and Chicago. Earlier in his career, Scarano served as General Sales Manager and Station Manager with ABC Radio/The Walt Disney Company, and held executive roles with Big League Broadcasting, Cox Broadcasting, Jacor Broadcasting, and WZGC/Atlanta.
“Matt is a proven, results-driven leader with a deep understanding of today’s evolving media landscape,” said Brian Beasley, EVP/COO of Beasley Media Group. “His operational expertise, sales leadership, and commitment to community make him an outstanding choice to lead our Detroit market, and we are excited to welcome him to the Beasley team.”
“I’m honored to join Beasley Media Group and lead the Detroit team,” said Scarano. “Beasley’s commitment to local communities, innovation, and strong partnerships aligns perfectly with my values. I look forward to working alongside this talented team to build on the market’s success and continue delivering meaningful results for our audiences, advertisers, and community partners.”
Patti Taylor, who has been serving as VP/Market Manager, will transition into the role of VP of Sales for the Detroit radio cluster.
