WCHR-FM, known as "105.7 The Hawk", "Classic Rock for the Jersey Shore, 105.7 The Hawk" or in reverse "105.7 The Hawk, Classic Rock for the Jersey Shore", is a Manahawkin, New Jersey radio station broadcasting at 105.7 FM with a classic rock format. It is owned by Townsquare Media.
WCHR-FM is the most powerful FM station in the Monmouth/Ocean market and can be heard as far west as the city of Philadelphia and Bucks County, PA, as far north as Wall Township, New Jersey, and as far south as Ocean City.
The WCHR-FM antenna is co-located with 88.3 WVBH and 98.5 WBBO on a tower located near the intersection of Route 72 and the Garden State Parkway in Manahawkin.
WCHR-FM is not affiliated with WCHR, a Trenton radio station that currently broadcasts on 920 AM with a religious format; however, both stations were formerly owned by Nassau Broadcasting.
The WCHR call letters were originally associated with the Trenton station broadcasting at 94.5 FM, using a religious format (CHR standing for Christian Radio). In February 1998, WCHR began simulcasting on 920 AM, and in early Spring 1998 94.5 FM changed call letters to WNJO as it flipped format to Oldies. For more on the 94.5 frequency, see the WPST page.
