On December 2, 1961, a young High School Principal named George Beasley launched WPYB-AM in Benson, NC, with the vision of providing a voice for the voiceless in the local community. Today, Beasley Media Group is a multiplatform media company providing advertising and digital marketing solutions across the United States with 64 radio properties located in 15 large and medium markets across the country.
The company will be celebrating this historic year-long event leading up to the actual anniversary day in December with a variety of special on-air and online support.
“We are so thrilled to be able to celebrate the incredible legacy that our father, George, began back in 1961 when he built his very first AM station in Benson, North Carolina,” said Beasley Media Group CEO Caroline Beasley. “It’s such a privilege to be able to build upon his forward-thinking vision and continue to blaze new innovative trails in today’s ever-changing industry with our outstanding employees and management team. Here’s to the next 60 years!”
Beasley Media Group has unveiled a special commemorative anniversary logo in celebration of the company’s 60th anniversary.
