Mornings Just Got Louder: WRGS Now Broadcasting Live from Port Imperial

If you’re catching the sunrise ferry from Weehawken, grabbing your first cup of coffee in the area, or tuning in from anywhere else—we’ve got your new morning ritual. Stop by or tune in to WRGS live from Port Imperial. That’s right, our founder Mike Ham is out there, weekdays starting at 6am, spinning morning show music for commuters and early risers.

Yes, 6AM.
Rain? He’s there.
Fog? Still there.
Iced coffee in hand (someone bring this man a hot one, please).

This isn’t just for the optics—Mike is out there every morning because he believes in WRGS and what we're building. He’s hustling for this station, for this community, and for Jersey. My Telegraph Hill Radio co-host, Joe Pom, and I are so proud to be part of it.

This live broadcast is just one of the many ways Radio Garden State is leveling up in 2025. While you can still stream us at radiogardenstate.com, we’re proudly repping our proper call letters now: WRGS. That’s how you’ll find us on TuneIn and Audacy too.

And no matter what you call us, we’re still 24/7 indie radio blasting music and shows created by and for the Garden State. Bold, raw, and 100% local. Tell your friends. Tell your playlist.

The WRGS app is also shaping up nicely—more on that soon—but in the meantime, we’ve been seeing more and more of you tuning in. Last month was our highest listenership yet, and it’s no wonder why: with new shows, new hosts, and a fresh wave of energy, WRGS is growing fast—and loud.

And hey, while we’ve got your ears: don’t miss JERSEY FEST, the WRGS-sponsored showcase at White Eagle Hall in Jersey City on May 17. It’s a celebration of everything this station stands for—independent music, homegrown talent, and a whole lot of volume. Tickets are still available, and you can get them (plus the full lineup) on the site.

We’ll see you in the morning.
We’ll see you at the show.
We are WRGS.
And we’re just getting warmed up.
