Barbara Farragher is back on the Beasley Media airwaves, taking over middays on AC WMGQ (Magic 98.3) in New Brunswick and Classic Hits WJRZ (100.1) in Manahawkin, NJ. Farragher is no stranger to either station. She previously co-hosted mornings at WMGQ in the 1990s and spent more than a decade at WJRZ, where she hosted nights and later middays from 2008 until last September.

Most recently, Farragher handled middays at Rock WRAT (95.9 The Rat) in Monmouth-Ocean, NJ for two months before departing amid budget reductions. Her career also includes stints at 88.9 WMCX Long Branch, "New Jersey 101.5" WKXW Trenton, and Rock 105.5 WDHA Dover.

At WMGQ, Farragher steps into the midday slot previously held by former Program Director Debbie Mazzella, while at WJRZ she replaces Joanne Cruise, who exited during Beasley's latest round of staff cuts earlier this year.
