HERKIMER -- Thanks to reader submissions, we're firing up the Picture of the Week time machine for at least the next three weeks in a row! This week, we're headed 50 years back in time -- and about 50 miles east from CNYRadio.com HQ for a look inside the studios of WALY in Herkimer. Any […]
ITHACA/CORTLAND -- Central New York enjoyed beautiful weather yesterday -- the warmest we've seen in quite some time. With a high of 59º observed yesterday in Ithaca -- it's tough to believe the battle Jim MacKay had to wage just to get to work at ESPN 1160 (WPIE) just a week earlier.
UTICA/ROME -- It's another victorious battle in the ongoing war against heart disease. The 40th WIBX Heart Radiothon, which started a week ago today, raised $36,000 toward the "Heart Weekend" total of $1.1 Million to benefit the American Heart Association. As per tradition for the Heart Radiothon, a long list of guests took turns sitting […]
SYRACUSE -- One CNYRadio.com reader noticed our recent request for more "classic" shots. Nick Caplan -- or "Sick Nick" as he was known on WOLF 1490 back in the day -- sent in a pair of pictures. One from then, and one from now.
SYRACUSE -- This week, it's a trip back in time for the Picture of the Week. Your editor's random internet surfing has turned up a collection of vintage radio station bumper stickers, posted on Facebook by a well known local radio personality.
SYRACUSE -- You won't need a DeLorian or Mr. Fusion™ for this trip back in time... just a few mouse clicks to check out our latest Picture of the Week. It's a great shot of the news team from 570 WSYR back in May of 1985.
ITHACA/CORTLAND -- It's been awhile since we've had a Picture of the Week from Ithaca; we haven't seen any broadcast-related images from the Finger Lakes since November. After 8 weeks in a row back and forth on the Thruway between Syracuse and Utica/Rome, we're overdue to aim our Picture of the Week spotlight back towards […]
UTICA/ROME -- Yes, too much time was invested in the title for our latest Picture of the Week. She's known for spinning country tunes... but earlier this week, Big Frog 104 (WFRG) morning co-host Polly Wogg got a lesson in spinning basketballs, from Buckets Blakes of the Harlem Globetrotters.
SYRACUSE -- Since late November, local news on NewsChannel 9 (WSYR-TV) has been presented from a temporary set in the corner of the ABC affiliate's East Syracuse studios. The set used since 1999 was being dismantled -- and earlier this month, the station finally made the long-anticipated announcement that it would soon launch local news […]
UTICA/ROME -- We're a week behind on this one, but with all the big news going on last week (and all sorts of holiday festivities), we simply ran out of time to write a Picture of the Week article. So, for a moment, let's all pretend it's Christmas time once again, as one Utica/Rome radio […]
