Mary Walter

What happened to Mary Walter?

They didn't renew her contract. See marywalter.com for more on Mary. --timrem 00:54, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Under the Boardwalk & Dena Blizzard

Guess after they wasted all that time fiddling through contestants in search of Mary's successor over a several month period that Dena didn't last for whatever reason. Anybody have any further info as to the situation there? Dena chose to move on to her own TV show on PBS and is now currently writing and producing her own theatrical show. I also noticed that in the waning days of Dena's time with the station, that, more often than not, ex-host of her own show on New Jersey 101.5, successor of Alan David Stein and predecessor of, you guessed it, Tommy G, Michelle Jerson, was doing Under the Boardwalk. Does Dena officially announcing the other night that it was her last show mean that Michelle will be filling that slot permanently now? Is management going to keep on going with Under the Boardwalk? Or, will they revert to Mary's old format, not that it was too much different from Under the Boardwalk's, the little I did listen to, Passion Phones? Or, will they try something new? Anybody have any answers here? Anything anyone can shed light on would be greatly appreciated.

Can we merge WKXW and WXKW into one article?

These two articles point to essentially the same radio station, but in 2 different parts of NJ. The main one is WKXW at 101.5 serving Trenton and WXKW is at 97.3 serving Atlantic City. I propose that the two stations be merged into the larger article New Jersey 101.5 (currently a redirect) in the same way Triple X ESPN Radio and GRock Radio were done, with the call letters redirecting to the main article. Let me know what you think before I do it (then people will be unhappy with me).

Weak Oppose The way I read the two articles, they are completely separate stations with different histories, that now simulcast the same signal. I think that the current setup, which has each article reference the other, is appropriate. Alansohn 14:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose For same reasons as above. I like it when each station has its own article with the history and stats of that specific station. The "Today's WXKW" section of WXKW is entirely appropriate with a link to the current content being broadcast on the station. As for GRock Radio and Triple X ESPN Radio, I do not like the combined articles, though in those cases, there is not enough history written about the separate stations to warrant separate articles. --Scott Alter 18:43, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Ok... I will leave as is. I will remove the merge proposal tags then. Thanks for your feedback. --Jjc104 20:26, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Ratings" is wrong

This section is untrue, Atlantic City has WMGM-TV and WOND which both provide coverage to statewide issues and are rather popular in southern New Jersey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.248.175.36 (talk) 03:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dennis and Michele (Judi)

Can someone with knowledge of the situation please address the following: (1) The article has a "(see below)" in the paragraph about Judi Franco's departure, implying that a section would discuss it. Where is this section? I don't see one in the history that may have been removed. (2) Regarding the reference to a Christopher Michael Hammer posting a message on Facebook about Judi's departure... is this the "see below" referenced? Who is Christopher Michael Hammer? Is this the station's "official" press release, or is it just some fan noting a change and making a statement about it? This section really needs some clean-up work. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the situation or I would do it myself. sme3 (talk) 03:24, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tommy G

There's been a lot of reverts lately regarding Tommy G's section of the article. I did some research, and as per this source [1], he was laid off due to budgetary reasons. Also, he is no longer on the NJ101.5 website. Hopefully this will clarify why some anonymous IP keeps removing his section. -Sme3 (talk) 03:34, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Conservative Bias

Anyone who listens to this station for more than 10 minutes can easily pick up on the conservative bias in a majority, if not all, of their DJs/show hosts - yet officially they are just "New Jersey Radio" and make no mention of being a conservative political talk station, when it's clear that's what they are. I'm trying to find third party sources, and once I do I'll write up a section on it in the article.
