SYRACUSE -- For at least the second year in a row, the morning show crew at B104.7 (WBBS) has received a nomination for the Academy of Country Music awards. And a programmer who used to work in Utica and Watertown gets a nomination for his current station in Albany.
Rich Lauber, Operations Manager at Clear Channel Syracuse, is one of 17 people to be honored with the company's "2008 Performance Excellence Awards."
Syracuse's B104.7 (WBBS) has been nominated in both of the broadcast award categories for the 2008 Country Music Awards. The station is up for one award, and morning co-hosts Ron Bee and Becky Palmer are up for their own award.
B104.7 morning co-host Ron Bee has been nominated for induction into the Disc Jockey Hall of Fame in Nashville, according to an e-mail sent to WBBS listener club members earlier today.
In the latest Arbitron figures for Syracuse released last week, with an 11.1 share, Howard Stern's show broadcast on 95X (WAQX) tops the morning drive rankings.
