Adult Standards and Sports are both out and Oldies is in on the Jersey Shore
The Radio-Info New Jersey Board speculated about a change even before it happened. On Friday morning, Millennium Radio put an end to the “Shore Sports Network” on WADB-AM, Asbury Park (1310) and began simulcasting Ocean County’s WOBM-AM (1160), based in Toms River – which in turn dropped adult standards to go oldies. The new “Good Times Oldies” lineup will keep WOBM’s Bob & Marianne in mornings, and add Lou Russo in middays. Big Joe Henry, heard live on the weekends on sister-station WKXW-FM 101.5, is in afternoons followed by Tom Lawler and Christopher Knight. One remnant of the Shore Sports Network, the duo of Joe & Mike, will do evenings on another Millennium station, “The Hawk” WCHR-FM (105.7). They replace Jonesey, whose status is unclear. WOBM-AM/FM VP/Quality Control Kevin Williams tells Radio-Info, “Research showed there was a real void for oldies in the market.” Weekend sports games and other brokered programs will remain on WADB. You can listen to WOBM-AM here. The predicted holiday-weekend changeover at the shore is one of the hot topics on the Radio-Info New Jersey board – Discuss it.
