*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.
