Originally founded in 2001 by Scott Jameson, CNYRadio.com is all about the radio stations of Central New York and the hard-working, talented people who keep them on the air.

Longtime visitors may recall the site entered a hiatus in 2005. We signed back on in February 2008 under new management. Scott graciously agreed to “transfer the license” so to speak, and here we are today.  

We hope you enjoy the new CNYRadio.com and pass the word along to others who may not have discovered we’re back.  Your comments, suggestions and other feedback is always welcome.

If you’re new to the site, here’s an overview of how we do things here:

• Submitting News Items/Press Releases
• Anonymous Tips
• Comment Posting Policy
• Questions? Corrections?
• Search Help
• Use of station logos/images

Submitting News Items/Press Releases

All news items can be e-mailed to cnyradio (at) cnyradio {dot} com.  Just hired a new jock?  Lineup changes?  Big celebrity coming to the station?  Got a job opening?  New jingles or imaging voice?  Let us know and we’ll let everyone else know.

Items submitted by station personnel using their official work e-mail address will generally be posted as soon as possible.  If you don’t want us to attribute the information to you, or if you’d like us to “hold” the information until a certain time, just let us know. 

Anonymous Tips

All requests for anonymity are always honored.  We won’t post your name on the site and we won’t tell anyone else that you e-mailed us either.  Whether you e-mail us from your station address or from a personal home account — if you request to have your name withheld from the story, consider it done.

Comment Posting Policy

Comments can be posted on ANY article.  But first, you must register for a Subscriber Account. It’s free, it takes just a few seconds, and it helps keep out spammers. More importantly, it guarantees you’re the only person using your username to post comments.

1. Usernames do not need to reveal your identity, but they cannot imply someone else’s.  For example, don’t make a username called “WXYZ-PD” unless you actually are the PD of WXYZ.  Impostor accounts will be deleted.
2. Have fun, but stay classy. Yes, you can express opinions of disagreement and criticism — even about us if you want — but keep it professional and clean. If you insist on high-school level name-calling and insults, take it to syracuse.com’s TV & Radio forum. We really hope this rule is just a formality that never needs to be enforced.

Please read our Privacy Policy before signing up for a Subscriber Account.  It explains what kind of information we collect from you (very little) and how it will be used (almost never).

Search Help

Every article is filed under at least one “category,” usually the market(s) the article pertains to.  Every article also has one or more “tags,” which usually include the call letters and owners of any stations mentioned in the article, along with the names of any people (on-air talent or management) mentioned in the article.  If you click on any category or tag within an article, you will see a list of all other articles with the same category or tag.  You can also use the search box up at the top-right corner of the page.

Questions? Corrections?

We don’t have any direct “inside connections” with any stations, so our updates are reliant on the trades, newspapers, direct observation things we happen to hear on-air, and any “insider tips” we receive.  We always do our best to confirm accuracy.  But if we make a mistake, contact us at cnyradio (at) cnyradio (dot) com with an explanation, and we’ll be happy to correct any errors.  Use that same e-mail address for any general questions about the site.

Use of Station Logos/Images

In accordance with Fair Use laws, station logos can be used in conjunction with news stories relating to that particular station. 

Photographs of on-air personalities or station events are sometimes used with news stories or for our Picture of the Week feature.  CNYRadio.com makes every effort to acknowledge the owner of the photo, and when applicable, we provide a link to the original source of the photo.
