SYRACUSE — Hunter Scott and Josh Grosvent, hosts of “The Show,” say they’re being sued by 95X (WAQX) owner Cumulus Media, over their recent move to crosstown competitor KROCK (WKRL/WKRH/WKLL), owned by Galaxy Communications.  According to their Facebook and Twitter accounts, the pair have been served legal papers mandating their appearance in court on Monday.
