Veteran programmer and on-air talent Danny Ocean has announced his resignation from 7 Mountains Media’s Hot AC 93.5 WSBG in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. His final day with the station will be Friday, October 17.
Ocean joined 93.5 WSBG in December 2023 as both Program Director and afternoon host, bringing with him decades of experience across multiple markets and formats. In less than a year, he helped steer the station’s programming direction and strengthen its connection with listeners throughout the Poconos.
“This has been one of the best radio experiences of my career,” Ocean said in a statement. “I give all the credit to the amazing staff in Stroudsburg. Many thanks to 7MM Owner Kristin Cantrell, Chief Programming Officer JC Burton, former COO Jim Loftus, and former Market Manager Pat Lincoln, who all played a big part in our success at SBG.”
Under Ocean’s leadership, WSBG maintained its standing as one of the region’s key Hot AC brands while continuing to build relationships with local advertisers and community organizations. Those familiar with his tenure credit him with fostering a collaborative environment and emphasizing creative content on-air.
Prior to joining 7 Mountains Media, Ocean built a strong career resume that included programming, production, and on-air roles in several Pennsylvania markets, including Philadelphia. His well-rounded background made him a natural fit for the Stroudsburg cluster, which also includes sister stations in the region.
As he departs WSBG, Ocean is planning a return to his Philadelphia roots, where he’ll continue his weekend and swing shifts at Beasley Media Group’s 102.9 WMGK. While he hasn’t revealed what’s next full-time, Ocean said an announcement about his next chapter will be coming soon.
