Just days after Adam 'The Bull' Gerstenhaber was let go by Regent Broadcasting, the sports announcer has signed on with Clear Channel's cluster in Utica-Rome.

The Utica Observer Dispatch is reporting that Gerstenhaber has brought the Utica College play-by-play action with him. Games which had been airing on Regent's WRUN AM will now air on Clear Channel's WADR AM. Utica College says their original agreement was with Gerstenhaber and not with Regent.

TalkRadio 1390 WFBL has picked up The Radio Nerds Radio Hour.

The hour-long local computer advice call-in show had aired on cross-town 570 WSYR until last Saturday's debut on WFBL.

The show, hosted by Mike Rao, Chuck Swanson, and Scott Ruston, airs Saturday mornings at 10 a.m.

The FCC has heard from an Ithaca area group who is looking to break up the group of four stations in that city owned by Eagle Broadcasting.

In its petition, the 'Finger Lakes Alliance for Independent Media' claims WHCU, WTKO, WYXL, and WQNY make up the entire Ithaca advertising market and are looking for a ruling from the feds that forces Eagle to divest itself of at least one station regardless of whether the proposed sale to Saga goes through.

He went by many names: Salty Sam, Bill Everett, and Epal. Willard Everett Jr. died Sunday at the age of 74 after a long illness.

Everett was probably best known as a children's television entertainer, but during his long Syracuse broadcast career he spent 30 years at 570 WSYR beginning in 1961. He got his start in radio at WAER while attending Syracuse University.
