Beasley Media Group has renewed a multi-year deal with WCSX-FM/Detroit morning personality Big Jim O'Brien. The veteran Motor City air personality, who has served as the morning host for the past six years, has worked at the station for a total of 18 years.

"It's been an honor to create Big Jim's House Morning Show on 94.7 WCSX with the support of everyone at Beasley Media Group," said O'Brien. "Thank you to Caroline Beasley, Brian Beasley, Justin Chase, Scott Jameson and Mac Edwards. I'm very proud to be associated with such amazing professionals and can't wait to see what the future holds."

"Jim has ALL the key qualities of an engaging on-air talent - he's prepared, generates fresh ideas, and always puts the listener first," added Beasley Media Group Vice President of National Content and Director of Detroit Programming, Scott Jameson. "We're thankful to have Jim with WCSX & Beasley Detroit."

"The picture says it all," said Beasley Media Detroit Vice President and Market Manager Mac Edwards. "Pardon the pun, but Jim is a GEM!
