NJ101.5.........

[Northeastern NJ is too liberal for NJ101.5's agenda, and listeners in that part of the state have other stations to listen to, such as North Jersey 1500.

Wow, having lived in NJ for 15 years I have never heard of WGHT. I guess they don't do a great job of advertising! Although looking at the News section on their website, it looks like they are mainly just focused on Passaic county.

"From Wayne to Pompton Lakes to Paterson. The award winning news center"......This quote alone which is used before every newscast shows that they mostly focus on Passaic County......While WGHT does have a good signal in a big chunk of Bergen County, they only do news for the towns where their signal is strongest (Wyckoff, Franklin Lakes, Oakland).....Bergen County really lacks any radio coverage and the county has more then 1,000,000 people.....The only FM on the commercial band in Bergen County is translator 103.1 W276AQ while all the AM's target NYC......1160 WVNJ in Oakland would be a nice station to focus on BC but they would never give it a chance.
 
I live in Essex County and just tuned to 1500. I'm getting a station from Washington DC, broadcasting a Capitals hockey game. I guess that WGHT signal isn't too good!
 
I dont know if anyone noticed but it seem that nj1015 is starting to attened events in monomouth county more lately. The have a seminar and did the movie premire this week alone. That market is very important to them so they should be out there promoting them selfs. Furthermore the commerical overload lately is terrible cant they figure something better out? today it took to 12:11pm after the news for the show to start.Also 101.5 should get that 103.1 station in bergen county just so altleast bergen county get some local coverage ever since wvnj went all syndacation.

Why does 103.1 only broadcast at 35 watts? Would they be allowed more power if they wanted it? There are no adjacent stations in the area.

WGHT has a daytime only signal which is the reason why you cannot hear it......Once they shut down DC's WFED booms into the NYC metro area.

No 103.1 cannot increase power b/c of 103.5 & 102.7 right across the river.....They also have to contend with WBZO Bay Shore to their east & WGNY-FM Newburgh to their north which are both on 103.1.
 
Between 04:55 - 05:11 PM, the station played a total of 15 commercials. They should change their motto to... "More Commercials and less talk".

In order to prove a point about the saturation of commericals on 101.5, you actually spent time sitting there and counting up commercials over a 15 minute span?? ???
 
NradiomanJ,
You obviously have to much time on your hands if you count how many commercials there are between a time period.

Would you rather someone just make a blanket statement, with no research to back it up?
