AUBURN -- Finger Lakes News Radio is looking for its next morning news anchor. Here's the job description as provided to CNYRadio.com by PD Ted Baker:
SYRACUSE -- Fans of the classic fare carried by "Me-TV" were pretty excited to learn, back in July, that WSYR digital subchannel 9.2 would become an affiliate of the network... starting today. But today, WSYR announced the addition of Me-TV has been postponed until sometime next month.
FULTON -- There's a new choice for country music fans on local radio. Over the weekend, WOSW 1300 replaced its children-focused Radio Disney feed with classic country, under the banner "Real Country AM 1300." The station, located in Fulton, transmits with 1,000 watts of power during the day, and 40 watts at night.
SYRACUSE -- They haven't crossed paths in roughly 25 years, when one was replacing the other on the morning show at Y94FM (WYYY). But thanks to social media, these former Syracuse radio personalities were finally able to catch up with each other at last month's Iron Girl triathlon.
SYRACUSE and UTICA -- Market rankings for the 2012-2013 television season have been announced by Nielsen, the company that measures TV viewership nationwide. Nielsen says both markets have fewer viewers, but both are maintaining last year's rankings.
SYRACUSE -- Sources who tipped-off CNYTVNews.com about Jackie Robinson's retirement last week were right: late this afternoon, CNY Central officially announced Megan Coleman will be WSTM's new weeknight evening co-anchor.
SYRACUSE -- After 20 years at WTVH and more than three years at NewsChannel 9 (WSYR-TV), Keith Kobland is making the move to a new job outside of broadcasting. Today was Kobland's final day with the ABC affiliate.
SYRACUSE -- Although there are several options on cable and online for watching music videos, fans who prefer to get their music video fix on free broadcast TV are out of luck, after "The Cool TV" network recently disappeared from WNYS-TV digital subchannel 43.2.
SYRACUSE -- If you've been considering forming or joining a team for the 7th Annial Bill Leaf Memorial Kickball Tournament, it's time to stop procrastinating and get going. The tournament is set for September 22, but the registration deadline -- September 12 -- is just a week away.
Updated 10:20pm with video -- SYRACUSE -- Looking at the current slate of television news reporters and anchors in Syracuse, we can think of only a couple of people who can say they've been at the same station for 34 years. And tonight, that very select class is smaller by one, as Jackie Robinson retired from her decorated career with NBC 3 (WSTM).
