Toya Beasley is the well-loved radio personality and friendly voice of New York City's WRKS-FM, better known to most fans as 98.7 KISS FM.
Due in large part to Beasley's undying and ongoing efforts, WRKS continues to be a leader in ratings and in community involvement. With KISS since 1989, Beasley started as a programming assistant, working her way to Program Director, a position she held for 10 years. She recently relinquished her managerial duties to launch her own Media and Entertainment business and to establish a non-profit mentoring organization designed to Educate, Equip and Empower women for success in their personal and professional lives. She will continue to serve as a consultant to the station she has helped build.
In addition, Beasley is the host of New York City's number one Sunday morning gospel program, KISS Inspirations and the host of the weekday gospel show, Morning Glory.
Beasley’s resume includes programming such as the KISS Wake-Up Club, the Wake-Up Club Community Tour, the nationally syndicated Michael Basiden Show, Rhythm Review with Felix Hernandez, The Hour of Power with Rev. Al Sharpton, Randy Jackson's Hitlist, The Donnie McClurkin Show and Bishop T.D. Jakes’ Empowering Moment. Beasley also co-founded the KISS Inspirations Choir.
In the community, Beasley has been an instrumental leader of the annual KISS Kids Coat Drive, the annual KISS Community Choice Awards, KISS-FM's Turkey Drive and the St. Jude Children's Radiothon, called Prayer Vigils. She is also the creator and producer of Night of Healing, which has taken place every year since September 11, 2001.
Beasley's professional accomplishments are many but nothing drives her more than her passion for God and His people. She has worked diligently to communicate that passion onto the airwaves and into the urban community.
Beasley is a native of New Jersey where she currently resides with her Yorkies, Maxx and Coby.
