WASHINGTON, DC -- Are you ready for Syracuse's "Sweet 16" game against Indiana tonight? We usually hold "Picture of the Week" until Friday, but given that this week's photo has to do with the media frenzy surrounding tonight's game, we decided to move the feature up by a day this week.
UTICA-ROME -- Just a little over a week since the Mohawk Valley was jolted by a deadly shooting rampage, an unprecedented effort by local broadcasters. Journalists and disc jockeys set competition aside to help raise money for community organizations that are helping victims of the horrific events of March 13.
UTICA-ROME -- Going back nearly 75 years, if this is not the oldest "blast from the past" to join our Picture of the Week collection, it's certainly got to be pretty close! Even if you weren't around to hear these guys on Utica's WIBX back then, there's a good chance you've seen and/or heard one […]
Updated 4:55pm -- SYRACUSE -- Since Wednesday night and through the weekend, car dealers are showing off the latest and greatest in automotive technology at the 2013 Syracuse AutoExpo. But today, we're headed back in time, for a look at some classic "FM Dial Cards" which were given to visitors who attended the same show […]
SYRACUSE and UTICA-ROME -- It's a double feature for our Picture of the Week. Up and coming country music star Jenna Jentry is touring the country and recently visited two area radio stations. And while doing some background research about the singer, we found out she's got roots here in Central New York.
SYRACUSE -- Out with the deep reds and in with some brighter blues! Starting Monday, there will be a whole new look for local newscasts on CBS5 (WTVH). Earlier this week, WTVH anchor and managing editor Michael Benny shared a couple of "sneak peeks" of the new graphics and news set.
NEW YORK CITY -- When Hurricane Sandy arrived in New York City earlier this week, one team from Central New York was there to cover it live. Using some relatively new ENG technology, CNY Central meteorologist Matt Stevens and photographer Lewis Karpel were able to send live images to Syracuse without a big truck or […]
WATERTOWN -- Personalities who once hosted on WCIZ (when it used to be at 97.5FM) gathered earlier this month to say goodbye to a colleague whose life was cut short in a car accident. "Mega" Matt Brenon, 47, died on October 3 after police say his van went off the road and struck a tree […]
UTICA-ROME -- You probably won't hear Psy's "Gangnam Style" on any of Townsquare Media's Utica-Rome stations (it would be way out-of-format). But that doesn't keep the staff from enjoying the breakout hit -- and mimicing the South Korean singer's trademark moves off-the-air.
UTICA-ROME -- Hug one person every day for a month... that was the goal for Big Frog 104 (WFRG) morning co-host Polly Wogg over the summer. When she started, she probably had no idea she'd have some of country's biggest stars on her list of hug recipients.
