Philly Suburban New Jersey Station WIFI Flips to Hip Hop as 92.9 Jamz Featuring DeDe in the Morning

, , , ,


Ritmo Broadcasting launches Jamz 92.9, a new Urban Hip Hop station on 1460 WIFI-AM Florence, NJ and its FM translator 92.9 W225DJ in Burlington, NJ. The station will feature DeDe In The Morning in the morning drive slot. No other on air hosts have been named as of yet. 


The stations are assigned to two South Jersey towns near Philadelphia, but the likelihood they would attract any listeners in Philly is unlikely due to the signal's limited reach. They are a part of the Trenton, New Jersey radio market.



The call letters of the AM station WIFI were once associated with a popular Top 40 FM station many years ago in Philadelphia known as WIFI 92 long before anything called the internet or wifi were invented... wonder if the owners were ever approached or offered a handsome sum to sell the call letters that spell out wi-fi???

• Gayle King and Charles Barkley are finalizing a deal that would have them jointly lead a primetime hour each week on CNN, according to people familiar with the matter and multiple news sources. The pact is not complete and there is always the risk it may not come to fruition, one of these people says. CNN declined to make executives available for comment.

• Tavis Smiley owned Los Angeles talk station KBLA Talk 1580 donated $20,000 in scholarship money to the NABJLA and MPJI. Smiley says, “The National Association of Black Journalists of Los Angeles and the Minority Photo-Journalism Institute are making a tangible difference in our community by helping students pursue careers in journalism and communications. KBLA ‘Talk 1580’ strongly believes in enlightening, empowering and encouraging tomorrow’s reporters, editors and potential talk radio hosts. Hopefully, our scholarships make a difference.”

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
