It appears that Jim Tate is no longer handling afternoon drive duties at Buckley's WSEN 92.1 in Baldwinsville. A poster on one local message board claims he has exited from the station altogether, but that is not confirmed.

The vicious wind storms that left more than 140,000 Central New Yorkers without power also took WSEN off the air for roughly 12 hours Monday.
Sorry we're a few days late on this one -- it's the first time we've had really good internet access during our summer vacation, so we just noticed Arbitron has released the P12+ ratings for the Syracuse and Utica-Rome markets.

Newsradio 570 WSYR is once again picking up the leave-behinds from WFBL's abandoned news/talk format. The station is airing promos stating it will begin carrying Laura Ingraham on Sunday afternoons, starting May 4.

Several sources indicate Buckley Broadcasting's Syracuse stations, WSEN (92.1 FM / 1050 AM) and WFBL (1390 AM), will be flipping formats this coming Monday. The changes may not seem too dramatic at WSEN, but it's a pretty big change for WFBL, which will be […]
