About Us
Wood-Ridge Radio is locally owned and staffed by Dom’s Web Hosting, LLC. It is broadcast on the frequency of 1580 AM to listeners within a mile radius of its location. This is a low power FCC Part 15 community radio station. The one hundred milliwatt signal (1/10th of a watt) is sent from a small FCC approved transmitter located in Wood-Ridge, New Jersey. From our location we have full view of the proposed Wesmont Station.
Rich, a founding member of Dom’s Web Hosting, LLC, manages, operates and programs the station. Rich started as a radio guest speaker back in 1994. He has spoken numerously on 101.5 FM, and various other radio stations across the country.
Wood-Ridge Radio will be playing the best of the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s music, local events, school closings, possible borough announcements, plus various old-time radio broadcasts every Sunday. That’s right, we’re bringing back the golden age of radio from way back when. Shows like Abbott & Costello, Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, Bob Hope, Flash Gordon, Sci-Fi, and a whole lot more for your listening pleasure.
