SYRACUSE -- Some notable names from the radio industry at this year's annual reunion of alumni from Syracuse University's student-run Z-89 (WJPZ).
That's Newhouse professor and Power 106.9 (WPHR) host Dr. Roosevelt "Rick" Wright standing with the hat on. Seated to his right is nationally-syndicated radio host and Z100 (WHTZ/New York) icon Elvis Duran. And to Duran's left is his business partner, talent agent David Katz. The latter two delivered a joint keynote address advising students and alumni how to be "Always On" -- just like radio.
Wright also addressed the crowd, as one of the first four people to be inducted into the WJPZ Hall of Fame.
The WJPZ Alumni Association website has a full page summarizing "Banquet 24," along with an additional 13 pages packed with other photos from the event.
