SYRACUSE -- There are some new voices delivering weather forecasts for four of Clear Channel's six local radio stations.  As of Monday, FM Newsradio 106.9 and 570 WSYR plus two other stations started using meteorologists from AccuWeather.com, ending a three-year affiliation with The Weather Channel's radio services.

CENTRAL NEW YORK -- Dozens of national-level advertisers and two radio stations -- one in Hawaii and one in Massachusetts -- have severed ties with The Rush Limbaugh Show, over some well-publicized remarks Limbaugh made on-air recently.  But when it comes to affiliates in the three markets covered by CNYRadio.com, it appears Limbaugh's future is […]

SYRACUSE -- Listeners probably won't notice any changes on-air, but there's been a change behind the scenes at WOLF Radio Inc.'s MOViN 100.3 and 96.5 (WMVN).  The change should make things a little easier for one staff member who's had a pretty full plate over the past two years.

OSWEGO -- Last week, Scott Fybush tipped us off to the mid-January collapse of the tower of WWLF 96.7FM, the Oswego simulcast of New Country WOLF 105.1.  In his latest Tower Site of the Week column on fybush.com, he's got some photos of the tower from 2011.  During the trip, he also has tower shots […]

SYRACUSE -- Do you recognize the two broadcasters in this 1984 photo, taken inside 62-WHEN when it was located on Old Liverpool Road in Liverpool?  As of last year, they're back in the same newsroom once again.  One more clue: one of these people had a birthday yesterday.

SYRACUSE -- Subway spokesman Jared Fogel?  He's yesterday's news.  93Q (WNTQ) morning co-host Ted Long has lost more than 100 pounds since September, and he's going to show off the giant jeans he used to wear, tonight on CBS 5 News at 5:30.

SYRACUSE -- After a few weeks off, The Irish Power Hour has a new radio home in Syracuse... and a chance to pick up some new fans in the Utica market.  Starting this Sunday, co-hosts Sean Johnston and Cabrina Gilbert bring their weekly hour-long show to Galaxy's TK99/105 (WTKW/WTKV).  It'll be simulcast on Utica's 96.9 […]

OSWEGO -- From the "better late than never" file, there's an explanation behind the three-week disappearance of 96.7 WWLF-FM. Remember that really windy day last month?  The station's owner says winds on January 17 were strong enough to bring down the transmitter tower. Since early this month, WWLF-FM has been transmitting from the Mexico tower […]

SYRACUSE -- Weekdays on The Score 1260 (WSKO), it's Mike Lindsley on middays, followed by Brent Axe in the afternoon.  But Mike was talking with a different Brent earlier this month at the Carrier Dome -- specifically, longtime network TV sportscaster Brent Musburger.  And you'll find a couple other familiar faces in the background...
