NJ 101.5 was teasing a "big announcement" today at 10:15. Apparently this is it.

Dennis Malloy Returns To Middays At NJ101.5; Eric Johnson Rises To OM

Eleven months after retiring from middays at Townsquare Media Talk/Classic Hits "New Jersey 101.5" WKXW Trenton, Dennis Malloy is returning to his former timeslot alongside Judi Franco starting Monday, July 13.

Bring back the Temu Archie Bunker. Way to look to the future.

I preferred him as a dj rather than a talk show host as Dan Malloy on WFIL’s country format 1981-1983.

An interesting story. Someone decides to un-retire. But it turns out he just needed a multi-month break? He had been doing fill ins here and there after his retirement last year.

BTW, if you add the cume ratings for NJ 101.5 in both NYC and Philadelphia, WKXW is either the #1 or #2 talk station in the country, alongside KFI Los Angeles. As David pointed out before when discussing NJ 101.5, two of its largest counties, Mercer and Hunterdon, are neither in the NYC or Philadelphia metros. WABC would be #3.

He didn't decide to un-retire. The station asked him to come back, likely because it had nobody else willing to fill the timeslot.
