Who knew radio chat could produce such DRAMA??? Damn people, lighten up. Face it. I had to. WDDM is on the air. It's not local anymore. It won't be. It's making money catering to the Indian population. It didn't make money locally. No one cared really back then to offer help to keep it local, why stress it now? If it's pumping out more than 8 watts, don't sweat it. Either 1, they'll be caught, or 2. think on the bright side, some owner of a 7-11 in Warren county can finally hear Bollywood Top 20, and be happy about it. Like Ed said, donate money, get it back local. I miss CNJ for what it used to be. An outlet for the Bayshore. A voice. Something local, something we all knew as just that. It's over now. If it ever changes, hey, that'd be cool. If not, then whatever. If people want to help assist the FCC or want to petition the renewal, then do what you feel is best for you. If you want to just sit back and let WDDM do what they wanna do and serve who they wanna serve, then let them. Either way, I no longer listen because the music doesn't interest me. I just don't care anymore. Besides, pirate radio interests me more.

Re: 104.7 FM

> > Sal was aware if its availability and also pirated 102.3 from South Amboy directionally northward as 104.7 illegal translator. Sal, with a little white-out manufactured station licenses and created fake Arbitron ratings.

According to a spokesperson from the NJBA, a complaint from the then management of WRDR at 104.9, claiming Sal's 104.7 was stepping across the 104.9 signal, that the NJBA was then obligated to launch a complaint with the FCC. After
a brief warning to Sal, ordering him to shut down it's Howell operation, the FCC and ATF stormed the studios in the middle of a song. The equipment was destroyed on-site.

Re: 89.3 Pirate Station Playing Uncensored Indian Music

Mike, you and I both miss the old station. Indian Radio is the fastest growing radio of all formats in the world right now. The station is in one of about 5 lucrative areas to do this format in the U.S., with 250,000 South Asians in this market, or about 14-15% of the populations of Monmouth and Middlesex Counties. Many other stations target, within their own demographics, about the same percentage, and we're doing that as a class-D!

The little WCNJ you grew up with now has listeners on nearly every habitable continent and island in the world , thanks to the internet.

WCNJ still had ill implications of being not just EBC, but also the Sal, and Steve stations. With those 3 names plaguing our sales potential, the decision was made last November to change the call sign, which occurred 3/2/05.

Mike, no that can not happen. The move to the commercial band is the first of three provisions outlined for class-D stations who express their desire to move off a crowded non-com band. Whatever steps are taken, the license will remain the same.

In 1997, WAXQ did in fact delay its response about their "OK" to let WCNJ move. WNSR, days before swtiching to "The Buzz", DID allow us to go there. It is possible that Chancellor was being converted to AMFM at the time. During the long delay, Steve did not further persue the move, and WCNJ's license came up for renewal without the ability to change frequencies.

There are no commercials on WDDM, we are prohibited anything like that on the air. Commercials only come from our webcast, which is not the FM signal.
 
Re: What a MOUTH on you!

I certainly wouldn't care if these are your opinions, but these comments are intended to hurt a souce of income of mine which i choose to publicly defend.
Would you like to experience that? No one would.

You, and others on this chatboard editorialize their comments to such an extreme that no one really knows what is true anymore. WDDM is "my" radio station and I take very good care of it. I've been associated with the station since 1990 and I can tell you it's in the best hands it has ever been in since.

It is absolutely outrageous some of the lunatic comments I read about this radio station that you all pretend you care about.

Don't pretend to know what's in my head. I neither intend to help nor hurt the station.

> Would you like to experience that? No one would.

Probably true.

If you say so.

I couldn't care less about the station Ed. See first comment.


P.S. I noticed you failed to actual respond with facts. Again.
 
I take your ignorance of my comments as a compliment. As much as we try to control our laughter when listening to 1680...every once in a while we hear
our own liners on their station. They are actually recording our programming illegally and playing it on the air. That's one top notch PD for you!.

Unless Hindi-AM is funded by a bottomless well of money, we're all thinking that after that stick's move southward, they'll be off of there. We've recyled our millenium countdown clock retuned for EBC's demise, will you join us for the big EBC going away party?
