Not Summer ‘Til PLJ Says So

WPLJ/New York will officially launch Summer 2017 at the Jersey Shore tomorrow at the 95.5 PLJ Pepsi Summer Kick Off, the legendary annual event that has opened the summer season for the past 20 years. Todd & Jayde in the Morning will kick off Summer 2017 and Memorial Day weekend by broadcasting Friday’s special show live from 6-10am from Jenkinson’s Pavilion in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. The free event is open to the public and will feature live performances from Andy Grammer, The Band Perry, LP and Wrabel. Fox 5-TV and Good Day New York will be on-site with live local TV coverage from Entertainment Reporter Baruch Shemtov.

Chad Lopez, VP/Market Manager, Cumulus Media New York, said, “We’re proud to partner with so many returning sponsors of the 95.5 Pepsi Summer Kick Off for the past 20 years. This event lights up the Jersey Shore for our listeners and this year marks a very special 20th celebration for us, and we’ll be bringing the party once again to the shore to open the summer season.”

WPLJ PD Gillette said, “Twenty years… and it seems like yesterday. The 95.5 PLJ Pepsi Summer Kickoff has become a Tri-State institution and the de facto start of summer up and down the Shore. Todd & Jayde in the Morning, the fans and this year’s nonpareil all-star lineup are a testament to that. It’s gonna be a great summer… Let’s do 20 more!”
