The Home of Rock and Roll Has a New Address

You may have heard the rumors about big changes at I-95. Maybe you even drove past our longtime home on Federal Road in Brookfield and noticed the “FOR SALE” sign. If you’re a listener of the I-95 Morning Show, you already know part of the story.

Now it’s time for the full truth. After over 40 years in Brookfield, I-95 is officially moving to Downtown Danbury. Our building at 1004 Federal Road has been sold, and we’ve signed a lease for our new home at 1 Ives Street, right on the Danbury Green. Our studios will be on the second floor, overlooking the heart of the city.

Market President Jason Finkelberg summed it up perfectly: “Our old building has served us well, but we are excited for our future in downtown Danbury.”

On a personal level, I’ve got mixed emotions. I started working at I-95 back in 1999 when I was just 20 years old. That means I’ve reported to this same building for work, my entire adult life. I’ve made lifelong friends here, shared unforgettable experiences, and built a career I could only have dreamed of as a kid. Many of my fondest memories took place inside this simple, square, gray building in Brookfield.

Still, while the nostalgia is strong, the excitement for a fresh start is even stronger. Our new space is being designed from the ground up, with brand-new studios built to fit our team’s workflow. More importantly, the move puts us right in the center of it all.

Our business has always been about people, and now we’ll be more connected than ever. Brookfield has been good to us, but this end of Federal Road just doesn’t offer the human interaction it once did. In Danbury, we’ll be upstairs neighbors with the Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce, and we’ll be right in the middle of the events and activities that light up the Green year-round.

This really is the start of a new era. And yes, I’ll admit—on a selfish note—my commute just got cut from 12 minutes down to 2. I live three miles from our new home base.

As for the transition, it’s expected to be seamless. One day we’ll do our final show in Brookfield, and the very next, we’ll be live from Downtown Danbury.

My colleagues and I are thrilled to carry the mighty I-95 brand into its new home. We hope you’ll keep taking the ride with us.

From Brookfield to Danbury and beyond, we’ve always been the Home of Rock and Roll for the region. That tradition continues—only now, our home is right on the Danbury Green.

P.S. Our San Gennaro broadcast just got a thousand times easier, all we need to do is walk down the stairs.

Did a White Plains Researcher Get Too Close to the Truth About UFOs?

Leon Davidson of White Plains, NY, had a résumé packed with top-level science work — from IBM and Union Carbide to atomic research and sci-fi writing. But when he turned his focus to UFOs, what followed was a strange paper trail that linked him to the CIA, classified communications, and government efforts to shut him down. The story you're about to see reveals what those efforts looked like — and why they may have gone to such great lengths.

Real-Life Vampire Scare Shook Connecticut In The 1800s

In 1854, panic swept through Jewett City when members of the Ray family began dying from a wasting disease known as “consumption.” But some locals believed it was something more sinister. The fear of vampires led to a series of disturbing rituals — and possibly even prevented more deaths. Here’s how one Connecticut town became a hotspot for vampire lore.
