Updated 9/9/09 - GENEVA -- Brendan Cooper is headed to a new job in Rochester, creating an "immediate" opening for a News Director at Finger Lakes News Radio. The three-station network includes WGVA 1240 in Geneva, along with WAUB 1590 AM and 98.1 FM in Auburn.
Cooper wrote in to clarify the story, telling CNYRadio.com he's departing "to take a job outside of the radio biz." He didn't say exactly when he'll be leaving, but "just didn't want the impression that there was any personnel issue; simply a career change." (Thanks for the update, Brendan and best of luck!)
