Ardolina brings with him over 30 years of experience in the region, most recently a 16-year run as Regional Operations Manager for Townsquare Media New Jersey and Brand Manager/Director of Programming for the company’s Monmouth-Ocean, NJ group — AC WOBM, Hot AC WJLK (94.3 The Point), Classic Rock WCHR (105.7 The Hawk), and Oldies WOBM-AM/WADB-AM/W228EH (Beach Radio), dating back to previous owner Millennium Radio Group.
