SYRACUSE/UTICA -- Once again, the first Monday in November means the beginning of 24/7 Christmas music on the radio in Central New York.  As of midnight, Galaxy Syracuse AC Sunny 102 (WZUN) and Utica-Rome Hot AC Mix 102.5 (WUMX) started playing holiday hits.

UTICA-ROME -- Starting today, you'll begin to hear some familiar voices from the past on Regent mainstream AC Lite 98.7 (WLZW).  Some former personalities will be appearing on the airwaves as the station nears it's 20th anniversary in late November.

SYRACUSE -- Brian Ocean may not have been on your radio in the last decade, but he's still been sitting behind the mic, speaking to audiences that span the world over.  This fall, he's celebrating his 10th anniversary as a webcaster, sharing an example of the global connections he has made.

SYRACUSE/UTICA -- Longtime central New York radio and TV personality Rick Gary is among six people who are to be inducted to the New York State Broadcasters' Association Hall of Fame during a ceremony next month in New York City.

UTICA-ROME -- The rumors were rampant 4 days ago, but it's now official: former Kiss-FM (WSKS/WSKU) morning host Gary Spears will be back in the air chair Monday morning, reclaiming the show he left back in March.  Not much else in the way of new details beyond our earlier coverage, which follows:

OSWEGO -- WRVO is gearing up for its Fall Fundraiser, and they could use your help.  The drive up to the Port City might seem long--especially if you listen via WRVJ/Watertown or WRVN/Utica -- but they're offering tours of their state-of-the-art studios and free food to help entice you to volunteer.

VERONA -- Just one week to go until the doors open for the 37th Annual Broadcast & Technology Expo, hosted by Syracuse Chapter 22 of the Society of Broadcast Engineers.  As always, there will be plenty of high-tech toys on display, and several demonstrations of the latest and greatest broadcasting equipment.  And admission is free!

UTICA-ROME -- He's not just the co-host of SportsWatch on WIBX; Fred Miller is also the owner of a local newspaper and website that cover local sports.  And in today's edition of the Utica Observer-Dispatch, Miller discusses his love for his work, and how he became a "media jack-of-all-trades."

UTICA-ROME -- The soap opera of changes in the airstaff lineup at Roser CHR duo Kiss-FM (WSKS/WSKU) appears to be nearing an end.  The station recently hired a new overnight jock, and their website is promoting the debut of a new morning host next week.  But signs indicate the selection may NOT be so new.
