Testimonials

“As a resident of the Hudson Valley since 1999, I have always enjoyed WKZE’s musical diversity, on-air personalities, and connectiveness to the many pockets and hamlets of our region. When I began to manage the business for Taste NY in Dutchess County in 2014, I knew immediately that radio advertising with this station would be a part of my marketing budget. The Taconic corridor receives a strong signal on 98.1 and the Taste NY Market at Todd Hill’s main demographic is drivers in the geographical area. The curiosity of day trippers and residents alike combines the location and the station, which creates the perfect opportunity for effective advertising. This, along with WKZE’s support of local and non-profit business models is a trifecta! What’s more is the professional and friendly staff who work with me on budgeting, copywriting, stats reporting, scheduling and even collaborations with other businesses in our community. Many visitors to our market have commented that they are here because they heard our ad on the radio while driving, and I look forward to continuing my business relationship with the sales and programming staff at WKZE weil into the future.” —Lachele Coninx-Wiley, Market Manager, Taste NY at Todd Hill

I absolutely love working with WKZE! From advertising with them to co-hosting their Cannabis Corner radio show, they’ve been such an incredible partner.  The support feels genuine and truly connected to the community.  I have had people drive hours to meet me after hearing us on the radio, and my regular customer smile and say I can see your face I love hearing you. —Jeanette Wolfe, Owner, Catskill Mountain High

“As the booking agent and a manager of Snug Harbor in New Paltz, I have found every single person at WKZE to be an enthusiastic professional. Helpful & cooperative in every way. Their combination of hard work and imagination make working with them easy and productive.” —Ed Daley, Snug Harbor

“When I launched my financial planning business a decade ago, one of my first moves was to advertise with WKZE. And I am so glad I did. I heard from new clients right away, many of which are now longstanding clients. Best of all, I know they share my values—because they are  listeners and supporters of one of our area’s most important community assets. That sense of community leads me to also buy goods and services from WKZE’s other advertisers, keeping our local businesses strong.” —David Sterman, Huguenot Financial Services

“ WKZE is the heartbeat of this region—pure, local, and all about the music. They show up for the community in a real way and we’re so proud to be part of that energy with ButtonBall. Holla!”  —Heather Thomson, Co-Owner, Buttonball Barn

“WKZE delivers exactly the right audience for us — music-loving, culturallly savvy residents and visitors to the Hudson Valley. They continually demonstrate real care about our business, always thinking of new ways for us to deliver our message. Through our work together over the last 4 years, WKZE has become one of our most essential business partners!” —Kathy Bluestone, Co-Owner of Roe Jan Brewing Co.
