I'm rating it a star higher than I'm realistically inclined to, in the interests of fairness,…read morebecause it's been several years since I've listened to the station, and one's taste in music tends to be subjective anyway. Certainly mine is. As a youngster with limited finances (my parents were loving, generous people, but they grew up in the Depression, so the "allowance" I received didn't exactly allow a lot of "discretionary spending," and when I started working at 13 years of age...delivering newspapers...my salary was...how shall I put it?...a little less than "bountiful" and a little more like "anemic"), I tended to be rigid when it came to music. If I liked that Stooges album, or Alice Cooper, the next time I accumulated some "mad money," I'd most likely buy another Stooges album, or Alice Cooper, rather than take a chance on expanding my knowledge/taste in music and buying something I was unfamiliar with. My opinions became fixed. I thought country music was horrible and horribly boring. Billie Holiday and Miles Davis were tedious and not nearly as exciting as the Sex Pistols or T-Rex. I was an opinionated young a#shole spouting off from a position of ignorance, with the inflexibility and self-righteousness common to many dopey kids and ill-informed louts. I've matured with the years (although some former friends and ex-girlfriends would, I daresay, disagree with that assessment), and my tastes and appreciation of different musical genres expanded. I listen to Moby Grape, Blue Cheer, Sun Ra, the Johnstons (I think their version of "the Curragh of Kildare" is the definite version, and the most beautiful), Johnny Cash, Love, Bach, the Pogues, Patsy Cline, Os Mutantes, Afro-Pop, Brazilian Bossa-Nova, Bob Dylan, etc. etc. And I still like the Stooges and the Sex Pistols. Thing is,I've ALWAYS liked at least some "soft rock" too. Even when I was that stubborn, immature jerk whose allowance money would not permit me to buy any surplus records. I liked Jose Feliciano, I liked the Moody Blues, Simon and Garfunkel, I was even willing to suffer through Bread's "Baby I'm A Want You" when that radio standard was played endlessly on what passed for "Easy Listenin'" radio stations in the 1970s. WMGQ is a different kind of "soft rock." With WMGQ, I was a captive audience. I had no choice but to listen. I was working at an office in nearby Piscataway, and WMGQ was the only station where we could get reception. We were a 24 by 7 office and that radio was on all the time. And they played the same limited number of soft hits...all..the..time. Adele droning monotonously on with "Someone Like You" was played at least once every...single...hour. And I mean...every...single...hour. I've never been suicidal in my life...I adhere to the Buddhist philosophy that you don't hurt other people or yourself, ever...but Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" drove me as close to the act as I've ever come in my life. I would have been happier with a 3-minute "hit" of fingernails being dragged across a blackboard. And they played it...every...single...hour, without exception. WMGQ's idea of playing an old-time classic was occasionally playing Roxette's "It Must Have Been Love," which always sounded more like someone skinning a cat alive to me than anything resembling a decent song. At WMGQ, Billy Joel (I am definitely NOT a fan) was presumed to be of the same artistic stature as Bob Dylan and he got played endlessly (his "hard" songs were soft, and his "soft" songs had the same consistency as bland, watery pablum). It got to the point where if they played "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree," I'd almost cry with a temporary, ecstatic relief, if only for nostalgia's sake. A long way from Iggy's "Search and Destroy," but at that point I was desperate to the point of mental derangement. It sometimes put me at odds with my co-workers. I'd go up to Lynn (a friend who unfortunately died of cancer a few years later), and beg, "Lynn, can we try and find another station to play?" "There is no other station to play, Ed; you know that already." "Well...how about we just shut it off? Even if only for a little while?" "The other people in the office like it, Ed. It has to stay on." "Lynn, if I have to hear Adele or Daniel Powter one more time..." At that point, if it had been a movie, Lynn would have grabbed me by the shoulders like Don Corleone and yelled in my face, "Start acting like a man!" But it wasn't a movie, we're friends, and life went on. And WMGQ stayed on. I no longer work in Piscataway, and I haven't listened to the station in years. If Billy Joel is one of your 20th Century "Musical Gods," or Journey impresses you in the same way the Beatles once impressed their fans and spurred them into a frenzy at Shea Stadium, or Adele's droning voice sends you into a dizzy swoon, this is probably the station you want to listen to. If they effect you the same distasteful way they do me, continue your progress up (or down) the radio dial.

Wow, I didn't know you could review a radio station here based on one's personal listening…read moreexperience. Well, here I go! :) Being a resident of North Central Jersey, I tune into this station each day just for a certain amount of time, but that really depends on what I have going on during the day or evening. "Let The Music Play" - Shannon I listened to this station ever since I was a junior in high school. They broadcast adult contemporary music, which is a mix of new songs now, and flashback tracks from the past. Various genres range from rock (lighter side, of course), pop, and some r&b, disco and dance. What matters for this station is whether or not they would play a song that I like, or play a song that I like but would annoy my passenger who sits next to me. I remember when they used to have the "Saturday Night 80s" special, which was when you would call in to request a classic hit, and along with a shout-out, they play it. Those were definitely some fun moments. :D Of course, I still do send in some requests during lunchtime on some weekdays during a once-in-a-while basis. Who doesn't like shout-outs? ;) What I really like about this station is the "Central Jersey" feeling that's existent during the broadcasts. A lot of the radio stations I tune into come from NYC, and usually they don't say too much in regards to this general area. But here, with a clear reception, not only do I get to hear good music and cool radio personalities, but I also get to find out what's happening in the general area. All of that is as good as it gets! The reception is obviously excellent if you live anywhere in Central Jersey, like where I reside. But as you head more north towards Paramus or northeast towards Newark or NYC, you will get a weaker signal. The radio station itself isn't too far from Rutgers (via NJ-27 or US-1). ;) Overall, it's a great radio station to tune into in this general area.

Founded in 1988 as Digital Cable Radio by David Del Beccario, it started out with just eight audio…read morechannels. Today, the count is nearing one hundred. Most people have either heard of or at least listened to Music Choice via their digital cable subscriptions, but a lot had no idea that an app existed, myself included, until my nephew-in-law told me about it a few years ago. Game changer! The app includes the exact same genres of music found on the TV plus a few more that aren't available on the tube. Favorites of mine include Pop & Country, 80's, 90's, Smooth Jazz, Dance/EDM, Soft Rock, R&B Soul, Throwback Jamz, Y2K and Soundscapes. PROS: + included with your paid cable subscription + plays curated-stations, not playlists + ad-free CONS: - turns off after 4-hours - no explicit content - you can't shuffle stations - songs repeat after a while UPGRADES: There is a subscription plan available called what else, Music Choice Plus. It enables you to select specific songs/artists/videos and listen offline on your TV and device. Music Choice Karaoke, at an additional fee, turns your TV into a karaoke screen. Music Choice Relax, yet another for-pay feature, adds scenic and serene videos to your TV screen (mobile coming soon) along with audio. Meditation leads also available. TIP: In Hawaii, one of the TV channels plays Hawaiian music. Too bad it's not available on the app for all to enjoy. OVERALL: Nice alternative to the big boys.

They seemed to be going business to business trying to sell some sort of coupon book and website. I was not at all impressed. I thought it might have been a good idea if it were still the early 2000's because that's what their website hosting looked like and that's when the last time a coupon book was still relevant for a girl scout troop. They seem very intelligent and willing to protect themselves in any and every way possible, but something about them just doesn't seem copacetic. Their glassdoor (and any positive) reviews all seemed pretty canned with cons listed as, "None, but it was difficult getting hired" or " I wish they were public, so I could buy stock." I would advise buying any service from them because whatever it is might look shiny or their salesman might throw a bunch of buzzwords at you, but it will most likely lack substance. I wouldn't be surprised if they were a front for something. I also wouldn't be surprised if this posting gets flagged by them for some reason or another; they're pretty savvy when it comes to monitoring their reviews online.
