[edit] Under the Boardwalk & Dena Blizzard
Guess after they wasted all that time fiddling through contestants in search of Mary's successor over a several month period that Dena didn't last for whatever reason. Anybody have any further info as to the situation there? I mean, weren't her first Nielsens since coming on as a full-time employee last month? Did she draw that terribly that management decided to can her after just one rating period? I also noticed that in the waning days of Dena's time with the station, that, more often than not, ex-host of her own show on New Jersey 101.5, successor of Alan David Stein and predecessor of, you guessed it, Tommy G, Michelle Jerson, was doing Under the Boardwalk. Does Dena officially announcing the other night that it was her last show mean that Michelle will be filling that slot permanently now? Is management going to keep on going with Under the Boardwalk? Or, will they revert to Mary's old format, not that it was too much different from Under the Boardwalk's, the little I did listen to, Passion Phones? Or, will they try something new? Anybody have any answers here? Anything anyone can shed light on would be greatly appreciated.
[edit] Can we merge WKXW and WXKW into one article?
These two articles point to essentially the same radio station, but in 2 different parts of NJ. The main one is WKXW at 101.5 serving Trenton and WXKW is at 97.3 serving Atlantic City. I propose that the two stations be merged into the larger article New Jersey 101.5 (currently a redirect) in the same way Triple X ESPN Radio and GRock Radio were done, with the call letters redirecting to the main article. Let me know what you think before I do it (then people will be unhappy with me).

- Weak Oppose The way I read the two articles, they are completely separate stations with different histories, that now simulcast the same signal. I think that the current setup, which has each article reference the other, is appropriate. Alansohn 14:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose For same reasons as above. I like it when each station has its own article with the history and stats of that specific station. The "Today's WXKW" section of WXKW is entirely appropriate with a link to the current content being broadcast on the station. As for GRock Radio and Triple X ESPN Radio, I do not like the combined articles, though in those cases, there is not enough history written about the separate stations to warrant separate articles. --Scott Alter 18:43, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

- Ok... I will leave as is. I will remove the merge proposal tags then. Thanks for your feedback. --Jjc104 20:26, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Ratings" is wrong
This section is untrue, Atlantic City has WMGM-TV and WOND which both provide coverage to statewide issues and are rather popular in southern New Jersey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.248.175.36 (talk) 03:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
