SYRACUSE -- Plenty of local musicians will have the chance to spread some holiday cheer over the airwaves during Big Mike's "28th Annual Live Christmas Broadcast" this Tuesday morning. You can attend the show in person at Driver's Village in Cicero (admission and breakfast are free) or listen on Sunny 102.1 (WZUN).
Morning show host "Big Mike" Fiss checks in with CNYRadio.com to remind everyone the broadcast will originate from Center Court at Drivers Village (formerly the Penn-Can Mall) and anyone planning to attend in person should use the green "mall entrance" doors between the Lincoln-Mercury and Mazda dealerships, as there will be ample parking and staff to assist with traffic.
