SYRACUSE – Clear Channel AC Y94FM (WYYY) has moved the John Tesh Radio Show from evenings to afternoon drive. 

SYRACUSE – Just a few days after 93Q (WNTQ) spent a week celebrating the 20th anniversary of “Ted & Amy in the Morning,” the station has taken longtime midday jock Big Jim Donovan off the air.  Management hopes it’s a “temporary situation.”  UPDATE 11/19 – Big Jim doesn’t seem to think it’s temporary.

An observant CNYRadio.com reader points out Bob McMahon, formerly of stations in Utica and Syracuse, has been let go from WBZ in Boston.

This week, Dave Silvers from Utica’s Bug Country (WBUG/WBGK) heads to Albany to mingle with a couple of country’s biggest superstars.

Regent Communications has signed a deal with Radiolicious, making it the first major radio group to make all of its web streams accessible to users of Apple iPhone or iPod Touch devices.

All week long, 93Q (WNTQ) morning show hosts Ted and Amy have been celebrating 20 years on the air together.  The “official” anniversary was Monday, but they’ve been sprinkling in little “bonuses” here and there throughout the week.

Affiliates of The Sean Hannity Show are being asked to meet some lofty demands when they renew their affiliation contracts for 2009, including the carriage of a new 3-hour “best-of” show on weekends.

There are some changes in the on-air lineup at Cram Communications Hot AC MOViN 100.3/96.5 (WOLF-FM/WWLF-FM).  Original morning show co-host Heather Dee is back, alongside Skip Clark.  UPDATED 11/12 with info on what happened to Jessica and Jeremy.

It appears that Buckley’s Classic Hits 92.1 (WSEN) has completed on-air lineup changes, following the exit of former PD/afternoon driver Jim Tate.  UPDATED 11/11 with weekend schedule changes.

Here’s some of the staff from WICB at Ithaca College, at the school’s homecoming weekend back in September.  Incidentally, today’s the final day to cast your vote to help WICB win a national award.
