Beasley Media Group appoints Kyra Ringer as Chief Engineer at the company's Boston-based radio properties. She most recently worked as an independent contract engineer in New England. Previously, she served as the Chief Engineer for Cumulus Media in Fort Walton Beach and Pensacola, FL. In her new role, Ringer will be responsible for transmitter and studio maintenance, troubleshooting and repairs of the market's RF systems.

"Kyra brings deep radio engineering expertise and a can-do attitude to complete our Boston Engineering and IT team," said Beasley Boston Vice President & Market Manager Mary Menna. "We are thrilled to have her."

"Having been raised in studios and transmitter sites, I feel that broadcast engineering is in my DNA," added Ringer. "My father has been a broadcast engineer for more than 40 years and has taught me most of what I know. I credit him with instilling an unwavering work ethic in me as I watched him work tirelessly through my childhood years. I have been working in radio for more than 25 years and love every aspect of what I do."

"Kyra brings a refreshing blend of innovation and expertise to the Boston engineering team," said Beasley Boston Director of Engineering & IT Dennis Knudsen. "We are all excited to have her on board."
