Weekends

If you didn't buy more "Forever" stamps at 50 cents each by Sunday, you'll shell out a nickel more for each one of them when your post office re-opens on Monday. The cost of mailing a first class letter rises to 55 cents. How else can you deal with the increase, New Jersey...

It was fun playing "Jersey's Greatest Party Hits," and counting down into the New Year with YOU last night.  Thanks for letting us be your New Year's Eve soundtrack. Now that we're a few hours into 2019, again, let me wish you nothing but the best in 2019...

Jersey's "Holiday Hits" have been ruling the weekend airwaves here at New Jersey 101.5 since Thanksgiving. Christmas lights are...lighting up the Jersey night sky. You, our listeners, are lashing trees to the top of your mini-vans...
