But because AM 1510 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WLAC in Nashville, WRNJ must reduce power at night to 230 watts.

At that point, Norman Worth, who was the only person selling a substantial amount of advertising, became sales manager.

By the late 1980s, Worth became part owner of the station and took over as General Manager and eventually as Chief Operating Officer.

Westinghouse Broadcasting wanted to remove WRNJ from its AM 1000 home because it owned a station one dial position away, on 1010 AM.

With WRNJ switching to 1510, that allowed Westinghouse to improve the signal of its New York City AM station, WINS at 1010 kHz.

At the same time, management sold the FM station at 107.1 MHz to Big City Radio.

It aired a full-service format that plays adult contemporary music with some talk shows also featured.

WRNJ's owners retained these to rebroadcast the AM signal for listeners who prefer FM's sound quality.
