• Townsquare Media News-Talk WKXW (New Jersey 101.5)/Trenton, NJ is excited to announce the return of legendary broadcaster Jim Gearhart after a long illness. Gearhart will host a new weekly podcast, The Jim Gearhart Show, which will tackle the most pressing issues of the week. Gearhart had hosted the top-rated morning show on New Jersey 101.5 since the station launched in 1990, but had to step away in 2015 after a serious accident and a long recovery. “For more than 25 years, Jim Gearhart was THE political voice and conscience of New Jersey,” said Eric Johnson, New Jersey 101.5 Brand Manager. “As we head into an election year, we welcome Jim’s insight and commentary.”
Station President Ron deCastro commented, “Fans will remember Jim’s sharp commentary, acerbic wit and blunt insight on the state of affairs in New Jersey. This new feature will introduce a new generation of Garden State residents to his expertise and analysis.” The Jim Gearhart Show is available on iTunes, Google Play and NJ1015.com.
