AJ began his career as an intern at 102.3 WBAB and later worked at 94.3 WMJC and then mornings at then-Classic Rock 103.9 WRCN Riverhead where he was first replaced by Chaz in 1996 and then rejoined him a year later. Chaz previously hosted nights at WPLR and worked for ABC Radio Networks prior to WRCN. The pair would move from WRCN to WPLR in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>The duo commented, \u201cWe are thrilled to get back to our roots on Long Island. Now we\u2019ll wake up audiences on The Shark and on WPLR in New Haven \u2014 it truly feels like the best of both worlds. We\u2019re grateful to our CEO, Jeff Warshaw, for the opportunity to expand the show and bring it home. We\u2019re going to work hard every day to earn the trust and ears of Long Island listeners. For decades, we\u2019ve believed they deserve a better show \u2014 and we intend to bring it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Connoisseur Media SVP\/Programming Keith Dakin stated, \u201cThe Chaz and AJ show began on Long Island and it just makes perfect sense to have them return home. The show has always been for and about the listeners, and now we get to add a whole bunch more to the party. The connection between Chaz and AJ and their audience runs deep, and bringing Long Island back into that community is something we\u2019re really excited about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company also stated they have signed Chaz to a new five-year contract \u201creinforcing the company\u2019s long-term commitment to the show\u2019s continued growth\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Connoisseur Media is expanding the Chaz and AJ Show from Classic Rock 99.1 WPLR New Haven CT across&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":503916,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[88,216],"class_list":["post-503915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=503915"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503915\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/503916"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=503915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=503915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=503915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
