WRDR (89.7 FM) - branded as Bridge FM - is a radio station broadcasting a Christian radio format. Licensed to Freehold Township, New Jersey, it serves the New York area. The station is currently owned by Bridgelight, LLC. Bridgelight, LLC was created as a counterpart to Christian denomination Calvary Chapel Old Bridge.
The station simulcasts on translators on several low-power FM stations, including WJUX, formerly known as "Jukebox Radio", which the station acquired. WJUX is currently simulcasted on 99.7 in South Fallsburg, New York.

WJUX 103.1 from 1993 to 2004 was known as "Jukebox Radio" and originally played Traditional Big Band Music in 1993 before evolving to more of an adult standards format by 1995. By then, WJUX-FM 99.7 Monticello, New York began simulcasting "Jukebox Radio" and it began commercial operation.
Originally licensed as a Non-Commercial station "Jukebox Radio" hit the air on March 5, 1993 on low power station 103.1 FM with DJs Lee Martin (Morning and Afternoon Drive), Matthew Borzi (Mid-days) and Larry Hopper (Evenings). The station was owned by Gerry Turro. Gerry Turro was the chief engineer of 1130 WNEW New York City from the 1980s until 1992 when WNEW folded. That station also had a big band/adult standards format from 1981 to 1992. Jerry purchased WNEW's music library at the end of 1992 for use on Jukebox Radio.
