History Asbury Park Press WJLK was created when The Asbury Park Press, a daily newspaper, wanted to expand its newly forming radio business in the 1940s. Originally destined to be WDJT at 104.3, by November 1946 the call letters had changed to WJLK, to honor the late J. Lyle Kinmonth. Kinmonth was the pioneering publisher of the Press, who died the previous year. In addition, shortly before the first broadcast, the station changed from 104.3 to 94.3 megacycles. The station's first broadcast took place on Kinmonth's birthday, November 20, 1947. When WJLK started, it was one of an estimated 75 FM radio stations nationwide. WJLK also made history as the first FCC licensed FM radio station in New Jersey. The station was dedicated to news and community information. It broadcast from 6:30 A.M to midnight Monday through Saturday, and 8 A.M to midnight on Sundays. Adult Contemporary and Top 40 Eventually, The Press purchased an AM radio station, WCAP, which was renamed WJLK, located at 1310 kilocycles. Both stations simulcast their programming. The newscasts for the station were 15 minutes long at the top of every hour, as well as a briefer at every half-hour. In between newscasts, there was a wide variety of shows featuring different types of music, or talk programs on specific subjects, such as gardening. In the mid 1960s, typical staffing included Everett Rudloff as station manager, Dick Lewis as assistant manager, Charles Hill as program director, and Frank Huber as station engineer. The station occupied the top floor of the Asbury Park Press building, with two studios in addition to the transmitter cabinet and the control room, operated by the announcer / disk-jockey. Remaining floor space was devoted to a small lobby and reception area and desk, the station manager's office, the station engineer's office, a small studio for the assistant engineer's recording of transcriptions and tape cartridge announcements and advertisements, and desks for radio
