Name:
Rob Garcia

Current Title/Position/Company:
Program Director – WZBZ/WGBZ-FM & WMID-AM Atlantic City, NJ

Bio:
A life long resident of New Jersey, I got my start at a small radio station in Vineland, NJ (WVLT-FM) My first duties at the station was to get the church shows on the air Sunday mornings. Shortly after that, I was moved up to a Saturday air shift and eventually went on to hold down full time afternoons, then mornings and the music director position.

After many successful years at WVLT, I ventured down to the Jersey shore to work part time at WAYV-FM.

Margate communications came knocking in December of 2001 and I left WAYV to become the production director for WZBZ, WMID, WTTH. A short time later, I was offered and accepted the PD position at then Dance/Rhythmic WZBZ-FM.

Not to long after, Equity Communications, owner of WAYV & WZXL bought our Margate cluster. I retained my programming position with WZBZ while flipping the station to CHR/Rhythmic and taking it to # 1 in our first book. I also added programming duties for Classic Oldies AM, WMID and Urban AC, WTTH.

I currently reside just outside of Atlantic City with my wife and 2 pets and loving every minute of working with South Jersey’s best radio company, Equity Communications.
