Long Island has always had to settle for New York City radio—until now. A station built entirely by and for Islanders is making noise, and it just got a whole lot easier to tune in from anywhere, including your car.
Founded by Long Island DJs, the 24/7 party station debuts a new app for iPhone, Android and Apple CarPlay, a redesigned website and live local DJs every day
FARMINGDALE, NY, UNITED STATES, October 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — WLIT.FM, Long Island’s open-format party station built on dance music, is kicking off Season 3 with a slate of upgrades: a brand-new mobile app, a revamped wlit.fm website, and live local DJs broadcasting every single day. The station streams around the clock and is positioning itself as a direct challenger to New York’s biggest hit-makers—Z100, 103.5 KTU and WBLI—but with a twist those outlets can’t match: the DJs, the news coverage and the business partnerships are all rooted squarely in Long Island.
Also worth a look: Track Review: Doechii “Denial Is a River” Is a Lyrical Tour de Force and Track Review: Rosalia “Abismo” Merges Flamenco and Industrial Electronics.
The station was born out of a simple frustration among local DJs who felt the mainstream airwaves didn’t reflect their community. Dance music anchors the sound, but the mix also pulls in hip-hop, pop and the throwback tracks that still pack dance floors, all blended live by DJs who’ve spent years spinning at parties and events across the Island. Beyond the music, WLIT.FM covers local news, happenings and the people and businesses that define the region.
“Z100 talks to the whole tri-state. We talk to Massapequa, Bay Shore and Huntington,” said Cory Poccia (DJ Cory P), founder and CEO of WLIT.FM. “Our DJs live here, our news is about here, and it’s right there on your phone and in your car. Season 3 is the end of being Long Island’s best-kept secret.”
The station has already earned recognition, being nominated for Best of Long Island three years running, including for the 2027 awards.
