Taylor Upped To VP/MM, Beasley Detroit

• Beasley Media Group has elevated Patti Taylor to VP/Market Manager of the company’s Detroit cluster — Active Rock 101 WRIF, Classic Rock 94.7 WCSX, Urban AC WDMK (105.9 Kiss FM), Classic Hip Hop WMGC (105.1 The Bounce), the Detroit Praise Network and Sports-Talk The Roar (WCSX-HD2). She succeeds Mac Edwards, who was recently named to oversee the company’s Charlotte radio group.

Taylor most recently served as the Director of Sales for Beasley Detroit for the past several years, earlier serving as General Sales Manager of the cluster and Sales Manager at both WCSX and WRIF. Prior to joining the former Greater Media Detroit in 2013, Taylor spent 13 years across the street with CBS Radio, rising to Local Sales Manager of Country WYCD.

“Patti is the perfect choice to lead our Detroit-based radio properties,” said Beasley EVP/COO Brian Beasley. “She has done a great job and is highly respected by her team, clients and peers. We look forward to her taking the cluster to the next level.”

Taylor commented, “I am truly honored and excited to be given the opportunity to lead this incredible Detroit team. We have some of the best products and people here at Beasley Detroit, and I’m looking forward to working side by side with them to serve our great community of listeners and advertisers. I know I have some big shoes to fill, but I’m passionate and willing to do what it takes to achieve continued growth and success in Detroit.”
