New Jersey 101.5 is hosting a town hall Thursday that will focus on youth suicide. According to the station, the number of kids taking their own lives is on the rise across the Garden State. 

“The alarming statistic is the sharp increase in suicide among kids as young as 10,” said Eric Scott, who leads the station’s news and digital departments.

September is also National Suicide Prevention Month. Its goal is to bring awareness that suicide is largely preventable when people seek and receive help.

“Our goal is to remove the stigma surrounding those struggling with thoughts of suicide and connect them with the help they need,” Scott said. 

The program’s on-air panel will feature mental health experts, teen suicide advocates, and Roselin Duenas, a youth suicide survivor, and advocate for New Jersey’s LGBTQ+ community.

The town hall will be streamed on the station’s Facebook page, YouTube channel, and via the New Jersey 101.5 app.

“After eight glorious years, I’m leaving (840 WHAS) for new adventures closer to home,” Hansen-Kilkelly wrote in a post to social media.

“I’m moving to WBBM Radio in Chicago,” she subsequently told the station’s afternoon host Terry Meiners in her last appearance on the station. “I’ll be an anchor/reporter there. I’ll be doing the same things I do here there but in my city. In Chicago. It’s pretty exciting.”

Brian Kilmeade: Show is at Disadvantage Because Fox News Doesn’t Own Any Radio Stations

“A lot of that with these syndicated companies is ‘Oh, yeah. This is our guy. This is our woman, we’ll put them on.’ That’s kind of the way radio works.”

The Brian Kilmeade Show has seen growth in recent months, with several new stations carrying the program. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t a constant uphill climb for the Fox News host.

Many nationally syndicated shows air on stations that are also owned by the syndicators themselves, like Premiere Networks and Westwood One. Kilmeade told 77 WABC’s Sid Rosenberg that his show — which is distributed by Fox News Radio — doesn’t have the same luxury.

“We don’t own any stations. Fox doesn’t have any leverage, just like you guys. If people are going to pick up our show syndicated they’re going to pick it up on the quality of the show,” said Kilmeade, whose show airs on WABC in New York.

“A lot of that with these syndicated companies is ‘Oh, yeah. This is our guy. This is our woman, we’ll put them on.’ That’s kind of the way radio works.”

Brian Kilmeade also told Rosenberg his show is on the verge of being added in a “major city” in Texas, and is also nearing a deal to be heard locally on a station in a “major city” in Connecticut, on top of recently being added by WRVA in Virginia.
