SYRACUSE -- Following up to last week's "blast from the past" photo of the WTVH Newscenter 5 team, we have not one, but two more classic Syracuse TV news photos from the personal collection of longtime NewsChannel 9 anchor Rod Wood. We didn't see Rod in last week's photo (taken at least 20 years after […]
SYRACUSE -- It's a blast from the past in this latest installment of "Picture of the Week." NewsChannel 9 (WSYR-TV) anchor and Syracuse broadcast historian Rod Wood recently sent over several photos from his extensive collection. This week, we look back at a WTVH publicity photo from the late 1980s or early 90s. Can you […]
SYRACUSE -- Hey, I don't care what you think about Amy, that's no way to refer to her! Just kidding, of course -- even if you're not a fan of Jersey Shore, chances are pretty good you know "The Situation" is the nickname of Mike Sorrentino, one of the stars of the hit MTV series. He appeared […]
BUFFALO -- It's two franchises for the price of one today: this is a "Picture of the Week" and a "Where Are They Now" together in the same post. This week's photo comes to us from Grant deBruin, formerly of Syracuse's WSYR-TV and Utica's WKTV.
SYRACUSE -- Public broadcaster WCNY may not have traditional pledge drives anymore, but it still needs to generate revenue.

SYRACUSE -- It's pretty routine to see sports announcers like "Voice of the Orange" Matt Park along the sidelines during TV coverage of Syracuse University men's basketball games. But if you were paying attention just after SU finished its 75-49 trampling of Seton Hall on Wednesday night at the Carrier Dome, you might have spotted […]
SYRACUSE -- Years before the practice of radio stations "going all-Christmas" became a popular trend across the country, there was Big Mike's Christmas Broadcast. Every year, Sunny 102's Big Mike Fiss invites dozens of local musicians to perform holiday favorites live on the air. This year was particularly notable -- it was the 30th year […]
SYRACUSE -- It's a double dose of holiday favorites on "The Wax Museum," a specialty show which airs Sunday nights on Love Radio WVOA 95.3, 98.1 and 103.9. This weekend, legendary vocalist Sonny Farrar will join the guys live in-studio to perform some of his own Christmas favorites. And there's more holiday favorites the following […]
UTICA/ROME -- It's a joint effort between radio and TV stations in the Mohawk Valley, and organizers say this year's "Stuff the Bus" toy drive is on pace to surpass last year's total of 8,000+ toys. The entire thing wraps up with two events taking place tomorrow -- in New Hartford and in Utica.
