SYRACUSE -- Judy Kelly will soon be on the beach... but in her case, that's good news!  The GM of Leatherstocking Media Group's six stations is packing her bags and heading south, to take a new job in Florida.  Her last day at Leatherstocking's Baldwinsville studios will be a week from today.

SYRACUSE -- The Syracuse Press Club is now accepting entries for its annual awards competition.  There are several different categories within TV, radio, various forms of print media, and online.  There are also some categories just for college students.  You don't have to be an SPC member to submit entries, and the competition is open […]

SYRACUSE -- The recently-rebranded "FM Newsradio 106.9 WSYR" really is WSYR-FM now, according to the FCC's FM Query database.  Although Clear Channel had filed last month to swap the old WPHR calls with the former WSYR-FM in Florida, 106.9 had to keep WPHR as its legal ID until the FCC OK'd the changes.  A clip of the "WPHR Solvay, WSYR-AM Syracuse" ID was […]

SYRACUSE and UTICA-ROME -- Eastlan Ratings just released their Fall 2010 audience estimates today.  Those expecting major shakeups may be disappointed -- the top three stations in both Syracuse and Utica/Rome held their respective ground.  But in both markets, you won't have to look any further than the top 5 to see changes.

Minor updates 1/3 at 5:00pm. SYRACUSE -- It's been expected for quite some time now, and at 7:00 this evening, it happened: Clear Channel heritage news/talker 570 WSYR is now being simulcast on the FM dial.  But you'd almost think it was the other way around -- with new liners and a new logo branding […]

CENTRAL NEW YORK -- If you checked out "The Year in Review: 2010," posted earlier today, you know there were certainly many big stories this year.   But which stories were the biggest?  Which stories got the most attention from CNYRadio.com readers?  As per our tradition, we just checked our server stats to see which […]

CENTRAL NEW YORK -- When you think of all the station sales and format flips we recapped right here exactly one year ago, we wondered how 2010 would compare with 2009.    After all, 2009 was a pretty busy year.  But, as we once again review all that happened over the past twelve months... 2010 did […]

SYRACUSE -- Another sign that helps confirm the still-unconfirmed buzz that Clear Channel is transitioning 106.9FM from the urban-AC "Power" to a simulcast of sister station NewsRadio 570 WSYR.  The FCC's call sign database shows an application was filed yesterday to bring the WSYR-FM calls back to Syracuse.

SYRACUSE -- It's no surprise -- especially after national coverage on Good Morning America and in the New York Times -- Syracuse and its neighbors have received plenty of snow this year.  There were a few days recently where snow was falling as fast as 2 inches an hour, and one local morning man appears […]

Updated 12/23 - SYRACUSE -- Shortly after 3:00pm Wednesday, Clear Channel ended the sports format on WHEN and replaced it with a simulcast of Power 106.9 (WPHR).  Not too long after that, the Power 106.9 website is now sporting (pardon the pun) a new logo -- and there are new station liners -- branding it as […]
