WJRZ FM 100.1

Broadcasting at 100.1 MHz FM, this commercial radio station carries a classic hits format and is owned by the Beasley Broadcast Group through its licensee entity Beasley Media Group, LLC. Studios are located on Beach Avenue in Stafford Township, and the broadcast tower stands in Waretown, New Jersey. The station serves the Jersey Shore and surrounding Ocean County communities. The station signed on July 4, 1976, from Manahawkin with a Top 40 format, opening its broadcast history with "More, More, More" by Andrea True Connection. It was originally licensed to the Jersey Shore Broadcasting Corporation, founded by Joseph J. Knox Jr. and Brent McNally, and affiliated initially with the ABC Radio Network before switching to AP Radio. Early on-air identities included "Stereo 100 WJRZ" and "HitRadio Power 100 WJRZ," and the station built a substantial listenership through the late 1970s and 1980s with a roster of prominent music hosts and newscasters. The CHR and Hot AC format ran through November 1991, when the station shifted to classic hits, though it returned to CHR briefly in mid-1992 before adopting a country format in December 1998, branded as "Jersey Country." The station cycled through additional format changes in subsequent years before settling back into classic hits, the format it maintains today. The current website content reflects a mix of classic rock-oriented editorial coverage and local New Jersey community news, consistent with the station's audience base along the Jersey Shore. The Beasley Broadcast Group, headquartered in Naples, Florida, owns stations across multiple major U.S. markets.
