Beasley Media Group Exits South Florida Region

     Beasley Media Group is about to exit the South Florida radio market. The organization has sold their final radio station in the region 1470 WWNN-AM in Boca Raton and two FM translators to Marco Broadcasting for $1.25 million. 

     WWNN-AM has been using the brand South Florida's Money Talk Radio Network since it added programming from former sister-station 740 WSBR-AM in December 2019. It is possible that WWNN will change their format with new ownership.

     Several on-air personnel have been on the radio station with sports programming. Jeff DeForrest was an evening sports host there in 2006. Jim Grieshaber hosted an evening show in the late 2000s. Longtime 640 WMEN-AM producer Erik Lengyel was a game analyst on Friday night high school football games in 2010 and 2011. Former 560 WQAM-AM program director Duff Lindsey was the operations manager at WWNN from 2011 until June 2019.  

     Beasley Media Group came into the South Florida market in 1996 when it was known as Beasley Broadcasting. They purchased Sports Radio 560 WQAM, Power 96 WPOW-FM and Kiss Country 99.9 WKIS-FM from Sunshine Wireless Company. Beasley later acquired three radio stations in the Boca Raton area which included WSBR-AM, WWNN-AM and WHSR-AM in 2000. Beasley Media Group sold their three Miami radio stations to CBS Radio in October 2014.
