SYRACUSE -- There's a brand new radio show in Syracuse... hosted by current and former on-air personalities... but you won't find it on AM radio, FM radio, or even satellite radio.  The only way to hear the unique, new format of "Walk-Up Radio" is to visit their website -- or catch a live taping of the show.

With the headlines of local radio job cuts (sadly) becoming more and more frequent, we thought we'd revisit a question we've pondered internally here at CNYRadio.com HQ -- should we open a "Jobs Wanted" page?  Click "More" to cast your vote.

ITHACA - We apologize we're a few days late on this one.  A unique contest held last week by Saga's Ithaca/Cortland cluster: the group gave away an entire wedding, hosted in the food court at The Shops at Ithaca Mall.  More details and photos appear in the Lansing Star Online.

As you may or may not have noticed, we recently added a new section to our Links page -- links to websites operated by local (or formerly local) on-air personalities.  We just quietly started with a few links we've happened to find on our own lately, but we'd like to extend the invitation to the rest of you!

ITHACA -- A rather unfortunate week for local radio personalities continues. Two staffers at Saga rocker I-100 (WIII) are the latest casualties of the recession that has forced radio operators near and far to trim staffing levels to save money.

SYRACUSE -- 93Q and Hot 107.9 are catching the attention of the local news media, for openly asking listeners if they should consider pulling songs by Chris Brown off their playlists. The 19-year-old star hasn't been charged, but is being investigated for allegedly assaulting girlfriend and fellow star Rihanna.

SYRACUSE -- She disappeared from the station website yesterday, and today management confirms it: longtime 95X (WAQX) middayer Alexis has exited the station.

SYRACUSE -- Less than a year after he was hired as morning host for the new Oldies 1390 (WFBL), Bob Brown has been removed from the shift, but remains on-staff part-time as a substitute.  As you may have expected, station management blames the economic climate.

SYRACUSE -- After years of being the exclusive media sponsor for Balloonfest, 93Q (WNTQ) is pulling its sponsorship of the event, according to the Onondaga County Parks Department.

SYRACUSE -- For at least the second year in a row, the morning show crew at B104.7 (WBBS) has received a nomination for the Academy of Country Music awards.  And a programmer who used to work in Utica and Watertown gets a nomination for his current station in Albany.
