Hot AC station “TJ 98.7” WEPN-FM New York will conclude its 4+ month run on Friday, January 10.
On August 31, a temporary “Pop-Up Radio Station” was launched on the Emmis-owned signal through a collaboration between United Stations and consultant Mike McVay. This initiative aimed to promote the syndicated program “The TJ Show,” hosted by TJ Taormina. The station was intended to be a short-term solution, while Emmis sought a long-term operator and a potential buyer.
The TJ Show is broadcast during both morning and afternoon slots, with the station depending on various vendor services. These services include the automation platform Radio.cloud and imaging voice talent Steve Kamer, highlighted through promotional messages aired on the network.
McVay programmed the music with his daughter Jai Kershner, former co-host of “Good Day Show with Doug Stephan & Jai Kershner,” taking on the role of midday host and secondary imaging voice.
The station has announced the conclusion of the TJ pop-up brand, set for this Friday at 6:00 PM. Listeners are encouraged to “stay tuned to hear what’s next.”
