SYRACUSE -- Former WSTM sportscaster Roger Springfield is accused of illegally videotaping more than 100 male student athletes in Syracuse University locker rooms, during his time as head of media for the school's athletics department. That's the word from authorities today, a little over a month since Springfield was fired from the post.

SYRACUSE -- Clear Channel's six-station Syracuse cluster helped raise more than $78,000 for the Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital last month.  That's the final total from the tenth annual "Radiothon for Kids," which was held over a three-day stretch last month.

SYRACUSE -- Longtime local broadcast meteorologist Dave Eichorn has a new job.  Today, the Syracuse Media Group announced it has hired Eichorn to create forecasts and provide analysis of local weather conditions for syracuse.com and the Post-Standard newspaper.  Eichorn tells CNYRadio.com he'll also continue to provide forecasts on the radio every weekday on Y94 (WYYY).

UTICA-ROME -- After decades as a staple on the weekday schedule at news/talker WIBX 950, the final buzzer has sounded on SportsWatch.  CNYRadio.com just got word of the show's cancellation as the final show was ending.  Readers who were tuned-in said co-hosts Jeff Monaski and Ray Rich ended the final show -- an abbreviated 30-minute edition -- with a brief tribute to the many people who hosted SportsWatch over the years.

UTICA-ROME -- Earlier this week, we were surprised by the absence of ratings data for Townsquare Media's four radio stations in the latest update from Arbitron.  But we've since heard that Townsquare still subscribes to "the book" in this market.  We checked, and it appears Arbitron has updated the "topline" data to include the cluster, which includes perennial market leader Big Frog 104 (WFRG).

SYRACUSE -- Out with the deep reds and in with some brighter blues!  Starting Monday, there will be a whole new look for local newscasts on CBS5 (WTVH).  Earlier this week, WTVH anchor and managing editor Michael Benny shared a couple of "sneak peeks" of the new graphics and news set.

SYRACUSE -- It's a new but familiar voice on mornings at 95X (WAQX), as the Cumulus-owned active rocker debuted The Robinson Show today.  The new wake-up host worked for 95X once before, as the station's night host in 2003.  In between, he's been working at Rochester stations WCMF and WBZA.

ITHACA -- On January 23, 1923, radio station WEAI signed on for the first time.  Two weeks from now, that station will reach its 90th anniversary... but it hasn't been called WEAI in decades.  Today, that station is News-Talk 870 WHCU.  Over the next couple of weeks, WHCU will be sharing plenty of memories from the station's long history.

ITHACA -- The Cayuga Radio Group, owned by Saga Communications, is looking to add another account executive to its sales department.  General Manager Chet Osadchey sends along the official posting, which summarizes the position as a "commission based job selling and servicing radio advertising accounts" for the cluster's seven stations, "plus excellent digital products and popular promotional events."  Here's the full job description Osadchey provided to CNYRadio.com today:

JAN 11th UPDATE -- Arbitron has revised its "topline" ratings to include Townsquare Media's four stations.  As a result, we have revised our chart, and we have posted a new story to recap the ratings, in light of the new information.  The story which follows was posted a few days earlier, when the original "topline" data only included stations owned by Roser Communications Network.

UTICA-ROME -- Following yesterday's coverage of the latest Arbitron radio ratings from Syracuse, we were hoping to analyze the Utica-Rome market's latest numbers today.  But there isn't much to see.  For quite some time, Arbitron has allowed the general public to see ratings only for stations which subscribe to its full report... and for the Fall 2012 book, released this week, only one cluster appears on the public chart.
