About 495 FM
Welcome to
495 FM – Long Island’s #1 Station for Lost Classic Hits.
We bring you the music you grew up with but rarely hear on the radio anymore—hidden gems and unforgettable tracks from the
60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.
But we’re not just about the music. 495 FM is “The Station Built for Business.” Alongside our Lost Classic Hits, we deliver bold talk segments, hilarious features, and smart business insights designed to entertain, inspire, and connect Long Islanders. From morning laughs to powerful business lessons, our programming is as unique as the community we serve.
Powered by WAIR Digital Broadcasting Radio and iRadioUSA, we’re more than just a radio station—we’re a platform for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and everyday people who want to make an impact. Whether you’re tuning in for the music, the motivation, or the marketplace, 495 FM gives you something no other station does: real connection.
📻 495 FM – Lost Classic Hits. Talk That Matters. Built for Long Island.
Do you want me to write this in a short punchy version (for a homepage block) and a longer expanded version (for a dedicated About page), so you have both?
