ITHACA/CORTLAND -- After four years on the job, the producer of WHCU's Morning Newswatch is heading elsewhere.  That means the station is on the lookout for a replacement.  The part-time job carries a 20-hour schedule; four hours every weekday afternoon.

SYRACUSE -- The Mars Hill Network of stations, headquartered in Syracuse, is looking to hire a new Network IT Systems Administrator.  Here's the full description of the job, as submitted to CNYRadio.com by Mars Hill Program Director Mark Hard:

UTICA/ROME -- An unexpected sale of a non-commercial station appeared in some of the national trades this week.  Bible Broadcasting Network is selling WYFY/Rome (1450AM) to Tune In Broadcasting.  The price tag: $90,000 total for the station itself and for the land at the corner of Muck Road and South Jay Street, where transmitter building sits.

SYRACUSE -- There will be a new radio home for minor league baseball's Syracuse Chiefs this season: The Score 1260 (WSKO).  The news was just announced this afternoon during On the Block with Brent Axe.  Jason Benetti, who called the games last year, will return for his second season behind the mic.

SYRACUSE -- New Country WOLF 105.1 is expanding and PD Skip Clark is on the prowl for some new talent.  He tells CNYRadio.com he's "looking to add some upbeat, fun, energetic, people who know, live and have passion for the country format. I know there is some very good local talent and I would love to hear from them."

SYRACUSE -- It's called "Walk-Up Radio" because members of the live audience can walk up to an open mic anytime they want.  Today is exactly two years since Walk-Up Radio debuted, so we thought it fitting to honor the crew with a Picture of the Week, and a plug for the big 2nd Anniversary Show they've got planned for this coming Wednesday.

GENEVA -- Finger Lakes Public Radio (WEOS) says it raised $6,205 in pledges from listeners, following "One-Day Fundraiser" which lasted 12 hours today.  The station's goal was $7,000, and even though the on-air portion of the fundraiser is over, you can still donate to the NPR affiliate online.

SYRACUSE -- They're both named Mike, and they've both recently left Syracuse for media opportunities in other markets.  At first, neither was able to discuss their next steps in great detail, but this morning (coincidentally) we've learned where former 93Q (WNTQ) jock Mike Cauchon and former Syracuse Chiefs sportscaster Mike Couzens are headed.

SAN ANTONIO, TX -- It's no surprise that Mark Mays intends to give up his titles as President and CEO of Clear Channel; that plan was announced last June.  But now, there's a timeline in place for the changes: he'll be out no later than March 31.  But he'll remain involved as Chairman of Clear Channel's Board of Directors.

UTICA/ROME -- For more than 36 years, Ed O'Brien has been talking sports on the Utica/Rome radio dial.  He's 70 years old, but says he's got no plans to retire anytime soon.  The host of "In this Corner with Ed O'Brien," heard Saturday mornings on ESPN Radio 1310 (WTLB, simulcast on 1350 WRNY and 1230 WIXT), recently spoke about his career with Fran Perritano of the Utica Observer-Dispatch.  (Corrected 2/9 with updated station name and logo.)
