In August 1983, at the same time WVNJ had been re-christened as WHTZ ("Z100"), WPLJ became known as "The Home of the Hits", and in October, added top 40-style jingles. 
In a way it was "New York's Hit Music Station" just before WHTZ went on the air. 
The following spring WPLJ identified itself very briefly as "The New Musicradio PLJ" before segueing to "Hitradio 95" just a short time later. 
In early 1985, the station became known on-air as "Power 95".
Ratings went up after switching to CHR though they were still just behind Z100 most of the time.
