After more than a half a century in radio, would George Beasley do it all over again? “My answer is an unequivocal yes” the Beasley Broadcast Group chairman, CEO, founder and NAB National Radio Award winner told the Radio Show crowd Wednesday, which garnered thunderous applause.

Beasley, who launched his company in 1961, continued, “My belief in this medium and my passion for radio started when I was in high school and I now have a world of experience in this business. It’s been fun all the way.” The Radio Award winner added that over his 50+ years in the industry, “radio is obviously a lot different today than it was. New technologies have been invented and radio has become a better product. Changing with the times is a must if we expect to survive in this business.”

Beasley added that he now has five children, 16 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. “A number of them are in the radio business and are doing very well. I’m quite proud of them.”
