Without much fanfare, WRUN 1150 AM switched formats last week. The Utica-Rome station, which has gone through several format changes over the past few years, is now carrying ABC's Stardust satellite network and is being branded locally as "Velvet 1150, your unforgettable memories station."
WRUN will continue to carry live Yankees baseball and other sports programming which it has carried in the past.
Since 1999, WRUN has served as a simulcast for Big Frog 104 (WFRG), Newsradio 950 WIBX, and most recently, as an affiliate for brokered religious satellite programming.
