Kobi "OC" Kearney
Kobi "OC" Kearney checked in with FMQB Monday night (7/1) following his exit as MD/night host at Beasley Rhythmic CHR WRDW (Wired 96.5)/Philadelphia. "First of all I would like to say THANK YOU to the Beasley family for giving me the opportunity to fulfill a career goal and dream of working and playing in Philly!" Kobi tells FMQB, "The past year and some change has been sooo much fun and I will cherish the memories for the rest of my career and life! I will definitely miss everyone in the 555 Building! Since this is my first time 'On The Beach' as they say in the biz... I will take some time to Relax and Recharge for my next radio destination! Until I land I guess I will get on the Flo Rida workout plan and start dancing for some side cash! Magic Mike ain't got nothin on Sexual Chocolate!" You can reach out to Kobi at kobiontheradio@gmail.com.

It's a pleasure to both work and listen to the station each day," said SVP/Market Manager. Don Bouloukos. Jim Ryan, CBS Radio VP/AC Programming and WCBS-FM PD, offered, "I am just amazed by the extreme level of passion that listeners of all ages have for WCBS-FM.
