May 13, 2015: Celebrating FM 106.3, WHTG ("Modern Rock At The Jersey Shore) and station owner Faye Gade

Listen to this show:  Pop-up player!

From 1984 until 2000 New Jersey was the home of one of the most respected and beloved commercial rock radio stations in the country, WHTG-FM (aka FM 106.3). The station broadcast from a house in Asbury Park NJ where the station's owner, the late Faye Gade, also lived. There weren't many radio stations playing "modern rock" or "alternative" music at the time, nor were there many stations owned by women. Gade played a key role in nurturing the station's independence and giving DJs an unusual amount of freedom for a commercial radio station, which led to a loyal and devoted listenership. Faye Gade passed away earlier this year, so to celebrate her memory and the legacy of WHTG Evan will be joined in the studio tonight by former WHTG staffers Jerry Rubino and Neal Adams (Neal is also a former WFMU DJ). Throughout the night they'll be talking with other past FM 106.3 DJs and, more importantly, playing some of the music that made the station stand out among its peers. Coincidentally there is also a WHTG Reunion Concert happening this Friday, May 15, at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park. Richard Barone and Jeffrey Gaines will be appearing along with several other bands - check the Facebook invite for more details or visit the Wonder Bar website for more info. The show is a benefit for Jewish Family & Children's Services of Greater Monmouth County, Faye Gade's favorite charity.
