Through my years at New Jersey 101.5, I've held various roles in the newsroom, including as the department's assignment editor and assistant news director. In my current role as the news director, I help determine the stories that I think will be the most impactful to our listening and reading audience while always remembering to follow what our station was founded on "Not New York, Not Philadelphia ... New Jersey 101.5." Under my leadership, the station won its first National Murrow Award for Newscast from the Radio Television Digital News Association in 2022. Most importantly, I'm always looking to hear from the people that live and work in New Jersey. If you have a story you think our award-winning journalists should pursue, please email me.

I'm a Princeton-born and raised New Jersey native. I spent four years covering local news in Lower Bucks County, Pennsylvania, before coming to New Jersey 101.5. When I'm not in the Newsroom, there's a good chance my neighbors can hear me playing electric bass through the walls.

Ever since I was a precocious 5 year old who read the Bergen Record and then published his own neighborhood newspaper I've always had an interest in the news. I learn something new on this job everyday and that's what keeps it interesting. I've been with New Jersey 101.5 for the past 10 years on the digital team writing news and working behind the scenes on a variety of projects.

Hey, my friend! I'm an on-air and digital journalist for New Jersey 101.5. I began working with the station in 2007 as a morning news producer, until my shift into the field. When I'm not covering news or traveling to see Dave Matthews Band shows, I run an entertainment service that hosts game nights at homes and businesses.

I have been covering New Jersey news for more than 25 years, and have served as New Jersey 101.5’s lead investigative reporter since 2000. I've reported on a number of breaking news stories, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the 9/11 Terror Attacks, the Jersey based Anthrax Attack Investigation, the resignation of Governor Jim McGreevey, Hurricane Irene and Superstorm Sandy as well as the terror bomb attack down the shore. I have covered the campaigns of Governors McGreevey Corzine, Christie and Phil Murphy, as well as U.S. Sens. Frank Lautenberg, Bob Menendez and Cory Booker. Additionally, I broke the story on New Jersey’s crumbling, dangerous bridges. I am proud to have received numerous awards for coverage of New Jersey stories, and been featured as an expert reporter on CNN’s Nancy Grace show.

I'm Jill Myra, New Jersey Traffic South, and I have been saying that for three decades! I have to tell you that every single time I walk into work I find myself saying a quick prayer of thanks to be at New Jersey 101.5.

Yes, I believe there is a Central Jersey since I grew up in Mercer County with the Tenna Rotor easily getting both New York and Philly TV! I went to Montclair State, where I learned to cue up a record from Bob Williams at our college station, WMSC 101.5. I guess 101.5 was just meant to be! After graduating, I worked in the New York market, broadcasting from the World Trade Center on many stations. I then moved to an office in a helicopter in the Philly market as an airborne reporter. Boy, was I thrilled to go back to my "Jersey" roots after that and come to 101.5, which has the best listeners ever!

I love my family, dog, friends, laughing and chocolate chip cookies which is why you will find me doing some type of physical activity 5 times a week. I am also a platelet and blood donor.

I’ve been the Evening News anchor for the Steve Trevelise Show since 2019.  I’m originally from Ohio and moved to New York City in 2005 before hopping over the Hudson River to New Jersey in 2014.  I have been covering New Jersey News for over a decade and I am very honored to deliver the news for the best radio station in New Jersey!  I’m also a die-hard Ohio Sports fan and love to watch international soccer.  My summer happy place is grilling out with my two sons.

I’ve been a broadcaster and creator of content since I was 14, but there has never been a more exciting time for our industry. In digital and social media spaces we are able to break through the boundaries of over-the-air broadcast signals, and extend into markets that were previously unreachable. With almost 30 years of covering the state's political scene, I offer insight and perspective and help you understand what it all means for you and your family. You can hear me on-air as I deliver the morning news broadcasts on the Bill Spadea Show. I also produce and host our Town Hall series of programs that explore critical issues facing the residents of New Jersey. I am honored to have received three Edward R. Murrow awards for my broadcasts.

I'm the midday news anchor for the Dennis & Judi Show. You may have heard my name before as I have co-hosted a number of morning shows on rock radio stations up and down the Jersey Shore as well as New York City. I also dabbled in business for a while at The Wall Street Journal Radio Network. While I am a Staten Island girl, I've been living in the Garden State (near the beach) for almost 20 years. I'm a die-hard Bruce Springsteen fan. I love the New York Mets (my dad was a lefty relief pitcher for the Mets in the 1960s). I love animals. I enjoy going to concerts (I love live music). I'm a beach girl through and through (you will find me there a lot). I enjoy watching The Brick Memorial Marching Mustangs in action and doing the announcing for their home shows. I love the color purple, anything coconut-scented and a good red wine. Italian food (my heritage) and seafood are my faves. I'll travel anywhere. Just don't ever ask me to attend a Yankees game or go camping ... the answer will always be no.

Before becoming a digital reporter and fill-in news anchor for New Jersey 101.5, my NJ journalism roots began as faux interviews on a Fisher Price tape recorder. Relatives might say my "gift of gab" grew from there, leading me to radio and beyond. As a wife and momma, I firmly believe that life’s too short to drink bad coffee. I'm also a fan of the beach and karma.

New Jersey is my home. I was born and raised here. I went college at Montclair State and started my career ironically on the college radio station which, at the time, was on 101.5! For 25 years I have had the best job on New Jersey 101.5 as the New Jersey Traffic North reporter on the morning show — first with Jim Gearhart and now with Bill Spadea as well as being a weekend music host playing Jersey’s Favorite Hits. I am humbled to know how much our audience depends upon the information in the traffic reports and all things Jersey. I know the roads — I drive them everyday and I hope that comes across on air as I try to help you avoid costly delays.

As chief meteorologist, my mission is to provide the most honest, accurate weather forecasts possible. I grew up in Jackson, where my weather obsession earned me the nickname "Weatherman Dan." I earned my atmospheric science degree from Cornell University. My career as a TV meteorologist included stops in Oklahoma, in Central New York and at News 12 New Jersey. I've also done research and programming work for the Northeast Regional Climate Center and NJ State Climate Office. I am proud to hold the American Meteorological Society's prestigious Certified Broadcast Meteorologist designation. I live in Union County with my wife, Amy, and young sons, Jackson, Griffin, and Nathan. Things I love: family, wine, storm chasing, Broadway musicals and Disney World.
