At Rock “95.9 The Rat (https://wrat.com)” WRAT Point Pleasant Robyn Lane exited as APD/MD/midday host after 28 years at the station. Lane joined the station when it flipped to Rock in 1996 after previously working at WBAB Long Island. Replacing her in middays is Barbara Farragher who moves from sister Classic Hits 100.1 WJRZ (https://wjrz.com) Manahawkin and is now using the on-air name ‘Barbara Dean’. Farragher had been with WJRZ since 2008.
Replacing Farragher in middays at WJRZ is weekend host Joanne Cruise. Cruise previously spent two decades in middays at Townsquare Media AC 92.7 WOBM-FM Toms River from 1991 to 2011, which also included time in New York hosting weekends at “106.7 Lite-FM” WLTW, “Mix 105” WMXV, and “Y107” WYNY. She also hosted middays at Christian AC “Star 99.1” WAWZ Zarepath NJ and weekends/fill-ins at Press Communications Classic Rock “107.1 The Boss” WWZY Long Branch.
Also exiting WRAT last month were evening host Andy Chase and weekend hosts Christopher The Minister and Hurley.
