New York's PULSE 87 has found a new home in Hudson Valley's WJZZ (88.1 FM) after 13 years of being online. Owned and programmed by NY Programmer and Operations Executive Joel Salkowitz, the dance station will be assisted by Valerie DeLong’s company MOXY Entertainment on the marketing and artist/label relations side.

Salkowitz, who launched HOT 97 in New York, helped PULSE 87 reach a weekly cume of more than 1m people despite several obstacles, including a remote dial position and limited signal.
DeLong’s career spans decades in the radio and video field for multiple major and independent labels, most notably with Republic, Motown, Cash Money and Lava Records.

"Valerie has been both a longtime business associate and friend," Salkowitz said. "What makes her such a perfect fit for this job is her relationships with both the radio and the record label communities. Over her 20+ years at labels Valerie’s interaction with radio stations was very successful due to her honest approach to business and her impeccable follow through. She is straightforward, tenacious and well-respected which lends itself to be the perfect enhancement to New York’s PULSE 87’s ever growing audience and business."

DeLong added, "Joel Salkowitz is one of the most legendary Program Directors and visionaries in the history of New York City radio. His inventiveness has been the crucial element of legendary stations including Hot 97, which he launched in New York as well as in the development of music programming for Sirius/XM Satellite Radio. His vision, insight and execution has provided New York listeners with 'the PULSE' of the city not only for decades but currently with PULSE 87. I am ecstatic to partner with Joel and the artists that make NYC the greatest music scene in the world."
