*Jim Monaghan was a fixture and then some at WDHA (105.5), the rock station in Dover that’s widely heard throughout northern NEW JERSEY – but after 26 years with the station, he did his final “Morning Jolt” show on Friday.
Monaghan had already enjoyed a long career in the region before joining WDHA in 1998, working at New York’s WFUV, WYNY (97.1) and for 19 years as a producer, jock, music director and sports director at WNEW-FM (102.7). He’s been the morning man at WDHA since 2006, and he’ll continue with the Beasley-owned station on Sundays with his freeform “All Mixed Up” show.
No new morning host has been announced yet at WDHA, and given Beasley’s move toward centralized rock and country programming at many of its markets, we wouldn’t be surprised if the Detroit-based “Dave and Chuck the Freak” ends up in that slot eventually.
SPRING IS HERE…
And if you don’t have your Tower Site Calendar, now’s the time!
If you’ve been waiting for the price to come down, it’s now 30 percent off!
This year’s cover is a beauty — the 100,000-watt transmitter of the Voice Of America in Marathon, right in the heart of the Florida Keys. Both the towers and the landscape are gorgeous.
And did you see? Tower Site of the Week is back, featuring this VOA site as it faces an uncertain future.
Other months feature some of our favorite images from years past, including some Canadian stations and several stations celebrating their centennials (buy the calendar to find out which ones!).
We still have a few of our own calendars left – as well as a handful of Radio Historian Calendars – and we are still shipping regularly.
The proceeds from the calendar help sustain the reporting that we do on the broadcast industry here at Fybush Media, so your purchases matter a lot to us here – and if that matters to you, now’s the time to show that support with an order of the Tower Site Calendar. (And we have the Broadcast Historian’s Calendar for 2025, too. Why not order both?)
Visit the Fybush Media Store and place your order now for the new calendar, get a great discount on previous calendars, and check out our selection of books and videos, too!
