SYRACUSE -- Longtime local radio personality and Syracuse University professor Dr. Roosevelt "Rick" Wright tells CNYRadio.com he's got a publishing deal for a book about the history of Syracuse radio.  But he says he can't do it alone -- he's looking for help in putting together "the total package" of photos, posters, promotional materials, DJ histories and any other material related to radio's history in Syracuse.

ITHACA/CORTLAND -- At first, it was just Clear Channel's 800 stations.  Then they added 570 more stations owned by Cumulus.  A handful of religious stations were mixed in.  And now, Ithaca College's WICB has the distinction of being among the first college stations streaming on Clear Channel's iHeartRadio platform.

SYRACUSE -- Two weeks after Bob Lonsberry took over afternoons at FM Newsradio 106.9 and 570 WSYR, his show has been extended by an extra hour.  The Rochester-based host still takes to the airwaves at 3pm, but as of today, his show runs until 6pm rather than 5pm.

SYRACUSE -- Recently-unemployed rock jock Dave Frisina and his show "Soundcheck" will be back on the radio again within a few weeks. Today, Cumulus Media announced Frisina will be joining 105.9 The Rebel (WXTL). Cumulus ditched "The Big Talker" to launch the classic rock format earlier this month, not long after Frisina was suddenly dismissed from his old job at Galaxy classic rocker TK99/105 (WTKW/WTKV).

SYRACUSE and UTICA-ROME -- Earlier this week, we told you that Ryno was counting down his days doing mornings on modern rock KRock, as he started a new assignment hosting nights on classic rock TK99/105 (WTKW/WTKV).  And today, KRock has revealed its plans: new morning host Dex Mitchell is set to make his debut on Monday.

SYRACUSE -- From the "better late than never" file, those who follow high school sports closely may be pleased to know Mike Bristol's weekly "Inside High School Sports" show has recently expanded from one hour to two.  That's the word from an article on syracuse.com today.  Author Pat Spadafora says he'll be filling in for Bristol this week.  The show airs Saturdays from 9-11am on ESPN Radio 97.7 and 100.1 FM. (Also 1200AM WTLA/Syracuse and 1440AM WSGO/Oswego.)

BUFFALO -- It's two franchises for the price of one today: this is a "Picture of the Week" and a "Where Are They Now" together in the same post.  This week's photo comes to us from Grant deBruin, formerly of Syracuse's WSYR-TV and Utica's WKTV.

SYRACUSE -- There's a new but familiar voice on the night shift at TK99 and TK105 (WTKW/WTKV).  Ryno, who has been doing mornings for Galaxy Communications sister station modern rock KRock (WKRL/WKRH), is pulling double duty as TK's new night jock.  He just made his debut on the classic rocker within the hour.

SYRACUSE -- There are some slight changes to the air talent lineup at MOViN' 100.3/96.5 (WMVN) effective today.  In addition to the previously-reported arrival of Brandon C., the station has revamped other parts of its weekday schedule, including the morning show.

Updated 1/18 -- SYRACUSE -- Does the Syracuse area have more Boston Red Sox fans or more New York Mets fans?  After carrying Sox baseball last season, ESPN Radio 97.7/100.1 (WTLA/WSGO) is now hedging its bets with Mets fans.  The station announced on Friday that it'll be Syracuse's radio home for the New York Mets this coming season.
