Altrok's Top 30, 6/19/2012

Summer, if not officially here, is certainly affecting our mindset - especially on the hot days we're getting right now at the Jersey Shore. That's good for business, though - well, something's good for business these days, because we're suddenly breaking past previous high-water marks for online listenership.  This, as they say, is good.

Also good is the fact that, here at the Jersey Shore, you can listen almost anywhere, if you happen to have one of them newfangled HD Radios. Tune it to 90.5, and then switch to the HD2 channel, and we're all yours. (Hint: reception's better at the more northern beaches, but that may change soon, and for the better. We'll let you know.)

And so, without further adieu, the latest items at the top of our charts, as well as our most important newly-featured releases...
