SYRACUSE — Fans who followed Hunter Scott and Josh Grosvent from 95X (WAQX) to KROCK (WKRL/WKRH/WKLL) expected to hear the pair sign-on at 6am yesterday.  But they said their debut was delayed by approximately 90 minutes, thanks to a threat of legal action from their former employer.

SYRACUSE — The competition to be named among the “Best of Syracuse” was considerably intense for local broadcasters this year.  For whatever reason, the Syracuse New Times drastically cut back on the number of broadcast-related categories for its annual contest.  This year’s awards, based on reader-submitted votes, include only one category each for TV and

Updated 12:50pm — SYRACUSE — After more than a decade on 93Q (WNTQ), “DC on the Radio” has exited the Cumulus Media CHR-formatted station. Dennis Crawford’s last show happened earlier this month, though he says he didn’t know it was going to be his last show.

TULSA, OK — More proof that broadcasting is a small world: two former Clear Channel Syracuse personalities have, by coincidence, started new radio jobs this year (though with different companies) in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
