Greater Media Inc. acquires WJRZ
EAST BRUNSWICK — Greater Media Inc. has officially closed on the purchase of WJRZ (100.1 FM), Oldies 100, headquartered in Manahawkin, from Atlantic Broadcasting Corp.
The WJRZ acquisition follows by less than a year Greater Media’s acquisition of WMTR (1250 AM), WDHA (105.5 FM), WRAT (95.9 FM) and WWTR (1170 AM) from New Jersey Broadcasting. In New Jersey, Greater Media also owns WCTC (1450 AM) and WMGQ (98.3 FM).
"WJRZ is a perfect fit for Greater Media New Jersey," said Dan Finn, Greater Media’s regional vice president for New Jersey. "We now have seven strategically placed radio stations in the Garden State that complement each other. Oldies 100 is a terrific station with incredible brand loyalty. Our advertisers now have greater access to the audience in the desirable Monmouth-Ocean market."
Greater Media is a privately owned company that owns 18 radio stations in Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia and New Jersey. It also owns a tower company, nine weekly newspapers — including this publication — and Greater Jersey Press, a commercial printing facility in East Brunswick.
