CNYRadio.com and CNYTVNews.com share a new Picture of the Week every Monday at 7:00am. We're always looking for reader submissions -- radio or TV, current events or blasts from the past. Send those shots to cnyradio@cnyradio.com.
SYRACUSE -- Morning radio DJs usually have to get up pretty early, which means going to sleep pretty early. But 93Q (WNTQ) morning co-host Amy Robbins recently stayed up a little later to help raise money for the non-profit Children's Consortium of Syracuse.
UTICA-ROME -- The brother-and-sister national country recording artists known as The Roys recently stopped by the studios of Big Frog 104 (WFRG).
SYRACUSE -- Nominees and Hall of Fame inductees for the Syracuse Area Music Awards (a.k.a. "the SAMMYs") were announced yesterday during a press conference at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. Sunny 102 (WZUN) morning man "Big Mike" Fiss had the honor of announcing the list of SAMMY nominees.
SYRACUSE -- Anyone who works in broadcasting knows there are certain times of the year you're forbidden (or at least strongly discouraged) to take vacation. Those are usually the most important ratings or sweeps periods of the year. But in Syracuse, you can cross 12 more days off the calendar: The Great New York State […]
LOWVILLE -- You probably don't hear about the Lewis County Fair unless you actually live in Lewis County, but this year's fair managed to attract many country music fans, along with Watertown's leading radio station, Froggy 97 (WFRY).
SYRACUSE -- You've no doubt heard about various concert tours postponing shows or calling them off altogether, citing lack of ticket sales (likely due to consumers getting fed up with high prices). But one local PD says, "we just want to show if you do it right, [look] what happens."
SYRACUSE -- Since we took a break from Picture of the Week last week, it's only appropriate (and a coincidence that we got two submissions) that we come back strong with a 2-for-1 installment. This week, New Country WOLF 105.1/96.7 brings its syndicated morning show hosts into town for the 2nd annual Redneck Games.
ITHACA -- The popular interactive quiz show Whad'Ya Know is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. And earlier this summer, Finger Lakes Public Radio (WEOS) brought host Michael Feldman and the rest of the crew to Ithaca to broadcast the show live from the State Theatre.
CANTON -- A new page on Facebook has made it possible for northern New York radio listeners to warp back in time to the days of Mix 96.7, the former WVNC. Anyone who remembers the station will enjoy the many photos posted on the page.
SYRACUSE -- Almost a quarter-century after WSCP-FM 101.7 first signed on the air, three former on-air personalities had a small reunion, this past week. Two of the guys are still working in Syracuse radio; the third recently visited from his retirement home down south.
