SYRACUSE -- Including today, there's still four days left for this year's Great New York State Fair. Many local radio and TV stations have a presence at the Fair every year, and since 2009, we've made it a point to find as many of those stations as possible and share photos in one big "Mega-Picture […]
Starting this week, we're trying something different: rather than appearing at midnight, Picture of the Week will appear at 7:00am. If you're checking in early, we'll give you a hint... this week's pictures (there will be two) will take you back about 20 years into Utica-Rome radio history.
SYRACUSE -- You might say they're a motley crew, even though you probably won't hear them playing any Motley Crue. Four WSEN-FM personalities recently posed for this photo at a gradation party for the daughter of afternoon host John Carucci.

But it was the real deal last night, when "DJ Sticky Fingaz" and "MC […]
SYRACUSE -- This may very well qualify as the all-time "oldest" Picture of the Week yet. We're going back more than 70 years in Syracuse radio history, with scans from a few pages from a "WFBL Cook Book of the Stars," published in 1941. During those years I am pretty sure that some of our […]
GENEVA -- Paul "The Small Guy" Szmal checks-in with our latest Picture of the Week. He's the PD and morning co-host at Hot Country K101.7 (WFLK) and 104.5 (WCGR) and his stations recently hosted national recording artist Craig Morgan for a benefit concert in Canandaigua.
SYRACUSE -- Out of the dozens of ESPN Radio affiliates nationwide, only 16 were invited to the network's Connecticut headquarters for its second annual "Audio Avenue" event on Wednesday. Among those 16: Syracuse's ESPN Radio CNY 97.1 and 100.1 (WSGO/WTLA/W247BC/W259AX). The locally-produced Upon Further Review broadcast live from the event that afternoon.
FLORIDA -- Do you recognize this pair? Not only did they both work in Syracuse radio some time ago, but they both worked at the same station. And they've recently crossed paths again in Florida... where one still works in radio, and the other has since changed careers. If you're stumped, the answers are right […]
SYRACUSE -- Michel Martin, the host of NPR's Tell Me More, visited Syracuse last month. She gave a lecture at Syracuse University on her first evening in town, and she enjoyed a luncheon with community leaders along with members and staff of NPR affiliate WRVO the following day.
