Beasley Media Group names Chuck Damico as Program Director of Sports WPEN-FM (97.5 The Fanatic) in Philadelphia, effective immediately. He's worked in a variety of positions at the Philadelphia-based radio cluster since 1994. The South Jersey native most recently served as the PD at Adult Hits WBEN-FM (95.7 BEN-FM) and Assistant Program Director at Rock WMMR-FM. Previously, he worked as the Promotions Director for WMMR, where he'll continue to serve as APD as well as consult with BEN-FM until a permanent replacement is named.

"Chuck was the perfect person to take the helm at The Fanatic," said Vice President and Market Manager Joe Bell." He is an outside the box thinker who knows the market, the listeners, the staff and is a life-long Philly sports fan! He will do a great job taking the station to the next level and beyond!"

"I'm very excited and thankful for the chance to join the 97.5 The Fanatic team," added Damico. "We have an opportunity to not only do great, entertaining radio, but also make a real difference in the City of Philadelphia - Home of the Greatest Sports Fans in the World."

"Chuck is a proven winner in the market and highly respected among his peers in the company," said Beasley Media Group Chief Content Officer Justin Chase. "I'm very happy that he decided to take on this new challenge at the Fanatic."

Eric Camille, who has been filling in as the Interim Program Director at the Fanatic, will continue serving as Assistant Program Director and Operations Manager of the station.
