Deminski and Doyle return to "New Jersey 101.5", replacing the "Jersey Guys"

Deminski and Doyle Jersey Guys Casey Bartholomew and Ray Rossi are out as of today (6/24), with their contracts not being renewed. (See the statement from PD Eric Johnson here.) Simultaneously, the station announces the return of Jeff Deminski & Bill Doyle to the 2-7pm drivetime shift. They handled afternoons on hybrid talk/classic hits WKXW, Trenton from 1993 to 1999, before heading to Detroit. (Their predecessors in that shift also left for a bigger market: John and Ken, the longtime morning personalities at KFI, Los Angeles/640.) WKXW program director Eric Johnson says "The Deminski & Doyle Show will continue New Jersey 101.5’s 21 year commitment of talking about the challenges and fun of everyday life in New Jersey. We are thrilled to have them back." D&D begin on Tuesday, July 5. The Jersey Guys' usual shift today was filled with an early appearance of "Big Joe" Henry, playing the classic hits the station features on weekends. WKXW is owned by Millennium-NJ, which is in the process of closing to L.A.-based Oaktree Capital. The New Jersey Board of Radio-Info.com picks up the story of D&D and the Jersey Guys, here.
