NJ101.5 Afternoons Now 50% New
• Significant changes are happening in afternoon drive at Townsquare Media’s WKXW (New Jersey 101.5)/Trenton, NJ, starting with the departure of Bill Doyle, longtime co-host of Deminski & Doyle. Doyle and Jeff Deminski had been on-air partners since 1994, initially teamed up in afternoons on New Jersey 101.5 until 1999, before heading to Detroit, where they spent seven years at the former WKRK (Live 97.1 Free FM) before crossing the street to tackle mornings on then Greater Media Classic Rocker WCSX until January 2010. They returned to NJ101.5 in June 2011.
In a statement, Sam Gagliardi, VP of Content for New Jersey 101.5, said, “Bill Doyle has been a tremendous part of what we’ve done. We certainly want to thank him for everything that he has accomplished and everything the station has accomplished with him.”
Now, the next chapter begins — effective Monday, June 10, Deminski (left) will be joined by his new co-host: the dynamic Kylie Moore (right), who has been promoted from Producer and fill-in host to full-time co-host, creating the all-new… wait for it… Deminski & Moore, weekdays from 2-7pm ET.
Deminski, a Union County native, has been a staple on New Jersey’s most listened-to station for years, while Moore has been a familiar millennial voice on New Jersey 101.5 since 2015, known for her roles as a producer, fill-in host, digital content creator and weekend music jock on the station.
“The stupid robots in grocery aisles, your phone that fell in a toilet, the governor’s hairstylist somehow avoiding charges, the fact that Kylie still doesn’t understand how to eat M&Ms, the neurosis we all have and never dare talk about,” said Deminski. “Kylie is fun, smart, and unique. I love the wide range of topics we’ll be able to cover.”
“I’m excited to partner with Jeff Deminski,” said Moore, a Jersey Girl with roots in Freehold and a degree from The College of New Jersey. “He’s one of the hardest-working and most genuine people I know, and you can hear his passion through the airwaves. He can make me laugh, think critically, and argue with him all before we hit our first traffic break!”
“Jeff has been a voice for New Jersey residents since 1993, and Kylie brings a fresh perspective,” said Brian Lang, RVP, Townsquare Media New Jersey. “Together with Jersey callers, Deminski & Moore will engage audiences on-air and online.”
