Mary Beth Beggy - OAMA Video

A native of Pittsburgh, Mary Beth Beggy grew up in Mt. Lebanon, graduated from Mt. Lebanon High School and went to the University of Dayton, OH. In the summer, she interned with KDKA-TV in the Public Relations Department under Carolyn McClair. She graduated from Dayton in 1989 with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications and the dream of owning her own PR Firm.

In 1990, the Spectrum Group hired her for a two-week job to help co-ordinate the launch party for KBL Sports at the Pittsburgh Sports Garden. Four years later, she moved on, and found her true calling in radio sales. Hired by B94 in 1994, Mary Beth worked her way up through the ranks from Account Executive to General Sales Manager under many ownership changes from EZ Communications to ARS to CBS. In 2004, Mary Beth was hired by Clear Channel as Sales Manager for WDVE.

While at Clear Channel, Mary Beth's passion for all music, creative promotions and sales lead her to become the Sales Manager for WXDX in 2005, and then, the General Sales Manager of WKST in 2006. In 2007 she also became the General Sales Manager of WWSW. Today she is the GSM of WKST (96.1 Kiss) and WWSW (3WS) and anything else they need her to do including taking out the trash, washing the station vehicles, but they just won't let her near the studios or a microphone.

Mary Beth has been honored twice by The Media Association of Pittsburgh as "Best Sales Manager" in 2007 and 2010. Recently she was voted the best aunt ever by Jack and Quinn Beggy.

Throughout her career, Mary Beth has worked with and raised money and awareness for dozens of charities including; Make-A-Wish Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis, Salvation Army, Susan G Komen, The Young Women's Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation, and The Alzheimer's Association, to name a few. Mary Beth is currently the Board President of the Cancer Caring Foundation in Bloomfield, PA.
