NEW YORK CITY — Continuing our catching-up on news from “while we were out on hiatus,” former CNY broadcaster Dave Vieser checks-in to share some good news.  The former Assistant PD and morning co-host of the Morning News Watch on Ithaca’s WHCU is now back on WHCU — and hundreds of other radio stations across […]

ITHACA/CORTLAND — After three months, the search to find a new Morning Newswatch host for News/Talk 870 and 95.9 WHCU has ended.  The station announced today that Lee Rayburn will take over as host on April 30.  Rayburn comes to Ithaca from KNWZ in Palm Springs, CA, where a local newspaper says Rayburn and station management are […]

ITHACA/CORTLAND — The search is on for a new afternoon host at Q-Country 103.7 (WQNY), after Marty Brandon exited the station this week for new job outside of radio.  That leaves Chris Allinger juggling existing talent while he screens candidates for Brandon’s position and one other key vacancy in the Cayuga Radio Group cluster.

ITHACA/CORTLAND — After four years on the job, the producer of WHCU’s Morning Newswatch is heading elsewhere.  That means the station is on the lookout for a replacement.  The part-time job carries a 20-hour schedule; four hours every weekday afternoon.

ITHACA/CORTLAND — WHCU is among several new affiliates airing “The Wall Street Journal this Morning with Gordon Deal,” according to a report published Wednesday.  The news/talk station, owned by Saga Communications, is one of ten new affiliates for the 30-minute show, which airs locally at 5:30 weekday mornings.

ITHACA — Plenty of good news at the end of 2010 for WHCU evening news anchor Syl Kacapyr is not-so-good news for the Saga-owned news/talker. Syl got engaged and got a new job, so now the station is looking to hire a replacement.

ITHACA/CORTLAND — Even though there’s plenty of fun to be had in broadcasting… ever wondered what it’s like to change your career?  One morning news man recently had the chance to try his hand at a different trade.
