Beasley Media Group is celebrating WMGK-FM morning personality John DeBella's 35th anniversary on the Philadelphia airwaves. The entire WMGK staff, led by Program Director Bill Weston, VP/Market Manager Joe Bell, burst into the studio and surprised the legendary morning host during his show to congratulate him for on being the on-air in Philadelphia for 35 years.

During that time, DeBella has dedicated himself to serving the community. He has raised over $1.1 million for local veterans in his Veterans Radio-thon, collected over nine thousand turkeys annually for less fortunate individuals during his DeBella Turkey Drop and assisted hundreds of local dog rescue groups and shelters in his annual John DeBella Dog Walk. He is being honored by the Philadelphia Kennel Club at this year's National Dog Show for his tremendous dedication to the welfare of animals.

"It's a testament to John's talent and passion that he continues to connect with his audience in such a powerful way, and is still going strong, 35 years into the game," said Weston.
