Ocean 98 is one of the last true independently owned commercial radio stations in the USA. Ocean 98 studios are located at the World Famous, Seacrets in Ocean City, Maryland. The format is AAA but it has also been called "The Best of Rock" and there is always a hint of reggae throughout the day. Weekday mornings the station is anchored by the #1 morning show: Bulldog and the Rude Awakening Show. The show features interviews with A-list celebs, TV icons, best-selling authors, doctors and some of the most off-the-wall people on this planet! The show is also very much listener driven and call-ins are always welcome. From 10am on and all weekend long the station is music intensive with live DJs. The Washington Post called Ocean98 "...one of the best radio stations in the world."
