Magic 98.3 is a great station and I listen at home on my stereo. Unfortunately, I cannot get it in my car as the station is very staticky. I don't understand that though as I can receive NY stations just fine. (I live in Monmouth County near Monmouth University.) Currently, I'm listening to their Christmas format (This year it's 11/18-12/25) and I love it.

Wow, I didn't know you could review a radio station here based on one's personal listening experience. Well, here I go! :)
Being a resident of North Central Jersey, I tune into this station each day just for a certain amount of time, but that really depends on what I have going on during the day or evening.
I listened to this station ever since I was a junior in high school. They broadcast adult contemporary music, which is a mix of new songs now, and flashback tracks from the past. Various genres range from rock (lighter side, of course), pop, and some r&b, disco and dance. What matters for this station is whether or not they would play a song that I like, or play a song that I like but would annoy my passenger who sits next to me. I remember when they used to have the "Saturday Night 80s" special, which was when you would call in to request a classic hit, and along with a shout-out, they play it. Those were definitely some fun moments. :D Of course, I still do send in some requests during lunchtime on some weekdays during a once-in-a-while basis. Who doesn't like shout-outs? ;)
What I really like about this station is the "Central Jersey" feeling that's existent during the broadcasts. A lot of the radio stations I tune into come from NYC, and usually they don't say too much in regards to this general area. But here, with a clear reception, not only do I get to hear good music and cool radio personalities, but I also get to find out what's happening in the general area. All of that is as good as it gets!
The reception is obviously excellent if you live anywhere in Central Jersey, like where I reside. But as you head more north towards Paramus or northeast towards Newark or NYC, you will get a weaker signal. The radio station itself isn't too far from Rutgers (via NJ-27 or US-1). ;) Overall, it's a great radio station to tune into in this general area.

Definitely a great NJ music station to listen to travelling down Route 1 in the afternoon. Love hearing nice, relaxing music to help wind down my day.
