YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Do you remember when a little house at the Jersey Shore rocked the music world?

The crew at WHTG-FM (106.3) were on the vanguard of the alternative rock movement of the the '80s and '90s, playing songs by artists like the B-52s, the Smiths, the Cure, R.E.M., and Dramarama years before mainstream media picked up on it. The WHTG story is now told in this new documentary, featuring staffers, rockers, journalists and fans, by award-winning filmmaker Brian Johnston.
