WHTG (1410 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Oldies format.[1] Licensed to Eatontown, New Jersey, the station serves the Monmouth County area. The station is currently owned by Press Communications, LLC and features programing from AP Radio.[2]
The station simulcast the programming offerings of its co-owned station WHTG-FM until 1984, when the AM station began playing a big-band standards format while the FM station began featuring alternative rock. Eventually the station gravitated toward an oldies format, called "Great Gold", which it retains today.
Until its purchase in 2000 by Press Communications, the station was privately owned by the Gade family, the station's founders. While the station maintains its original AM tower and transmitter site in Tinton Falls, the studios are now located in nearby Neptune. During the decade of the sixties Wally Dow announced,sold time and otherwise performed all general duties at the station.He was general manager of the station from 1968 until September 1970,when he and his family moved to Florida
