Official WPLJ Tribute Coming Soon
• As Cumulus Hot AC WPLJ/New York prepares for the unthinkable — its final date on the air prior to the closing of its pending sale to EMF, the station’s management is planning an official two-part special farewell broadcast for loyal PLJ listeners — the tribute will bring back some of PLJ’s greatest jocks, special guests, and all those people who have made the station so special since the ’70s, including current PLJ staffers.
Chad Lopez, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus New York, said, “We are preparing to honor and send this legendary radio station off in the way that its listeners, advertisers and staff deserve. I know that everyone here at WPLJ is proud to have been a part of history at this iconic station and we will be announcing more details as to our final plans in the days to come.”
[Ed. Note: We want to clarify that this corporately-backed send-off is not to be confused with the reunion being organized privately by former longtime WPLJ VP of Programming Tom Cuddy to be held on Tuesday, May 21 at the Cutting Room in New York]
