ITHACA -- We're back from a solid week off (anyone notice?) with a double Picture of the Week. Our thanks to Rudy Paolangeli, who sent in two historic shots related to heritage Ithaca news/talker WHCU. We've got one shot from the 90s and another that goes back to at least the 70s.
ITHACA -- From the Cayuga Radio Group of Saga Communications, word today that News-Talker WHCU has a job opening for a news anchor/reporter. Here's the full official job description from the station:
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.
ITHACA/CORTLAND -- WHCU is among several new affiliates airing "The Wall Street Journal this Morning with Gordon Deal," according to a report published Wednesday. The news/talk station, owned by Saga Communications, is one of ten new affiliates for the 30-minute show, which airs locally at 5:30 weekday mornings.
ITHACA -- Plenty of good news at the end of 2010 for WHCU evening news anchor Syl Kacapyr is not-so-good news for the Saga-owned news/talker. Syl got engaged and got a new job, so now the station is looking to hire a replacement.
ITHACA -- News-Talk 870/95.9 (WHCU) is putting out the call for applications "for future openings in the Cayuga Radio Group news department," says Assistant PD Dave Veiser.
ITHACA -- Saga news/talker WHCU is back on the FM dial. Well, it's already on the FM dial if you have an HD Radio receiver, but now you can listen with a regular FM radio. The station's primary coverage on 870AM is now supplemented by the return of translator W240CB at 95.9FM.
ALBANY -- He worked primarily in print media, referred to as "the dean" of State Capitol journalists by the Albany Times-Union... but he was also a frequent contributor to WHCU's Morning Newswatch. Former Gannett Albany bureau chief Jay Gallagher passed away Monday evening in an Albany hospital after battling pancreatic cancer for nearly a year. Today, […]
ITHACA -- There's been no shortage of big stories for journalists this year, both on the national/world level and on the state/local level. For the next two weekends, News/Talk 870 WHCU will take some time to recall the biggest stories and some of the most interesting interviews from 2009.
ITHACA -- With the "soap opera" in Utica ending, we're reminded of a job that's been open even longer -- at Saga's News Talk 870 WHCU. Since mid-June, the station has been searching for a news anchor/reporter to replace Todd Messer, who left the area after getting married in July. APD Dave Vieser shares the […]
