Beasley Media Group announces legendary 93.3 WMMR-FM Radio Personality Pierre Robert has signed a multi-year extension hosting middays in Philadelphia, allowing for a truly special relationship between Pierre and his multitude of fans to continue for years to come.
The radio icon is one of the most recognized personalities in the City of Philadelphia. Pierre joined the rock station back in 1981 and has been hosting the midday show with his unabad love for music, his listeners, and the city.
The legendary rock radio personality is best known for his welcoming โGreetings Citizensโ salutation, along with his big heart and warm voice! Pierre encompasses everything that rocks โ the new and familiar, rock and alternative, punk and singer-songwriterโฆ whether presenting in the air studio, on-stage, or unearthing treasures in the MMaRchives.
His daily features, including Noontime Workforce Blocks, Pierreโs Vinyl Cut, exclusive artist interviews, live in-studio performances and โOn This Dayโ history lessons are fully enjoyed by a large and dedicated audience.
Pierreโs encyclopedic music knowledge adds new insight to a classic rock track as well as context to a baby bandโs latest release. His interviews are masterful. Artists trust him and provide him with unheard of access โ from the Struts to the Stones, Bono and Robert Plant, to Lizzie Hale, Joan Jett, Green Day andโฆ most recently even the legendary Dolly Parton!
In addition, Pierreโs generosity is unparalleled- giving his time every year to attend and host the Aids Walk, on-air support of Mannaโs Pie in the Sky fundraiser, plus active and genuine support of all charitable initiatives of WMMR.
One of the cityโs most recognizable celebrities, Pierre is at the center of its live music scene, greeting his legions of fans as if personal friends in the smallest clubs and largest stadiums. His star is included on the Philadelphia Music Alliance Walk of Fame.
โPierre has been a huge part of the fabric of both WMMR and the Philadelphia market for over 40 years,โ said Vice President and Market Manager, Joe Bell โItโs exciting to see this continue!โ
โContinuing Pierreโs relationship with the Philadelphia radio audience, into 2024 and years beyondโฆ is a gift for all this Christmas season and beyond,โ said WMMR Program Director and Beasley Media Group Vice President of Talent Development, Bill Weston. โThat fans and co-workers get to continue their friendship with the man who shares his beautiful voice and spirit on the radio every day- is the best present ever!โ
โThis is a very cool moment for me knowing Iโll be continuing this radio adventure on โMMR,โ said Pierre. โMany thanks to Joe Bell, Bill Weston, and my amazing agent, Steve Mountain from Cornerstone Management for bringing this all together. To paraphrase the Grateful Dead: What a long, strange, and wonderful trip itโs beenโฆand still is!โ
