Press Communications


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, and entered radio broadcasting in 1947 by launching the first FM station entirely in the Garden State, WBAB-FM in Atlantic City, New Jersey, simulcasting WBAB, later falling silent. 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 and Middletown Township, New Jersey respectively and resumed broadcasting in 2013. The Wilmington station, which PMCM renamed KJWP, was sold to Maranatha Broadcasting Company in 2017.
