Press Communications Radio, LLC is a broadcasting company in the American state of New Jersey which owns six radio stations and one television station, WJLP in Middletown, New Jersey. The company is owned by Robert E. McAllan, and is a sister entity to PMCM TV, LLC. It traces its roots back to 1895,[1] and entered radio broadcasting in 1947 by launching the first FM station entirely in the Garden State, WBAB-FM in Atlantic City, New Jersey (at the time, owned by its subsidiary, Press-Union Newspapers), simulcasting WBAB, later falling silent.[2] While no longer in the newspaper business, the company has a formal business partnership with the Gannett-owned Asbury Park Press.

PMCM TV

PMCM TV, LLC was founded in 2008 in Wall Township, New Jersey to purchase KJWY from Sunbelt Communications Company and KVNV from Valley Broadcasting Company. After the sale closed in 2009, the stations were moved to Wilmington, Delaware (to serve the Philadelphia market) and Middletown Township, New Jersey (to serve the New York City market) respectively and resumed broadcasting in 2013. The Wilmington station, which PMCM renamed KJWP, was sold to Maranatha Broadcasting Company in 2017.

gollark: I prefer potatOS superglobals, which are shared across all computers.

gollark: Never mind the certainly huge amount of bugs which could emerge from some hours running twice, or not at all, and the extreme hassle of dealing with also having to translate pre-DST-implementation and post-DST-implementation dates!

gollark: Why not just MEDDLE WITH THE VERY FABRIC OF TIME ITSELF instead of changing working hours?

gollark: Tired of getting up at times which don't... align with the sun, or something?

gollark: It's a bad solution to a problem which I don't think even exists, which creates nightmares for programmers everywhere.
