He will succeed Helen Leicht, who had been off the air since last summer,
but announced her retirement earlier this month after being with WXPN since 1990 and in Philadelphia radio since 1976.

Prior to joining WXPN, Vasilikos programmed AAA 89.7 WTMD Towson/Baltimore.

WXPN Assistant General Manager for Programming Bruce Warren said, “Mike is
an invaluable part of the core team here at WXPN, both on the mic and
behind the scenes. His love of music, and the keen insight and creativity
he brings to curation and the music discovery process, is exceptional.
Whether he’s filling in for the XPN Morning Show, afternoons, or any other show, WXPN members and listeners have come to love hearing him on the air.”

“To say I’m excited for this opportunity is an understatement,” said Vasilikos. “I fell in love with radio as a kid and this is truly a dream realized. Working alongside my friend Helen Leicht and the incredible staff
at XPN, all true music lovers, has been inspiring. I’m excited to continue discovering and sharing music with the XPN community and to support all the incredible artists, locally and nationally, that have a home at WXPN.”

Prior to joining WXPN, Vasilikos (known as “Mike V” to colleagues), was Program Director at WTMD/Baltimore. A Garden City, NY native, he holds a bachelor of science degree in electronic media and film from Towson
