Dennis & Judi Reunite; Lou & Michele Move

• Townsquare Media New Jersey announced a revised on-air lineup launching July 13 across Talk/Classic Hits WXKW (New Jersey 101.5)/Trenton and its statewide NJ Hit Music Network on Top 40 WPST (94.5 PST)/Trenton, and Hot AC sisters WJLK (94.3 The Point)/Monmouth-Ocean and WSJO (SoJO 104.9)/Atlantic City.

As we recently reported, the centerpiece of these changes is the return of The Dennis & Judi Show, reuniting newly unretired station veteran Dennis Malloy with his former longtime partner Judi Franco (left), weekdays from 10am to Noon on New Jersey 101.5. Lou Russo and Michele Pilenza (below) will move from mornings on 94.3 The Point to New Jersey 101.5, hosting a new show from noon-3 pm, followed by afternoon duo Jeff Deminski and Kylie Moore, now starting an hour later.

Bill Spadea remains in morning drive, with Morning News Anchor Eric Scott continuing his digital-first solo show Jersey Thing weeknights from 6-7pm, and Steve Trevelise from 7-11pm.

With Lou and Michele moving to New Jersey 101.5, mornings on 94.3 The Point will be filled by WPST’s Chris and the Crew, hosted by Chris Rollins and Joe Hyer, which expands to SoJO 104.9 as well.

With the return of Dennis Malloy, Eric “EJ” Johnson concludes a successful yearlong stint alongside Judi Franco, and now transitions into a new role as Statewide Operations Manager, supporting content initiatives across Townsquare Media’s New Jersey brands. He will also handle some weekend music shifts and fill-in on talk shows.

“These changes are about investing in local talent, local content, and local conversations,” said Sam Elliot Gagliardi, VP of Content for Townsquare New Jersey. “No one understands New Jersey better than the people who live here. This lineup brings together some of the strongest personalities in the state and reinforces New Jersey 101.5’s role as the place where New Jersey comes together every day.”
