"Jeff brings a wealth of Rock Radio knowledge," said Kamikaze. "Having him join Operations Manager Travis Daily and myself completes my programming dream team for the station/"

"Jeff is a great rock programmer, a creative powerhouse, and an all-around fun guy," added Market Manager Steve Triplett. "I loved working with him during his last tour of duty in Tampa and am thrilled to have him back!"

"I'm excited to join my mentor, Ted Kamikaze, back in Tampa at 98.7 The Shark," said Zito. "I want to thank Justin Chase, Travis Daily, Steve Triplett and the Beasley family for allowing me this incredible opportunity to grow within the company I've had the privilege to work for over the past 20 years. I can't wait to get started, but, will miss my radio family in Fort Myers."
