UTICA/ROME -- Last week, we put out the call for stations to let us know what they're doing to help their communities during the holiday season. And last night on Facebook, we put out an urgent call for Picture of the Week submissions -- it's been such a busy news week, we never had time […]
UTICA/ROME -- News/talker WIBX 950 turns 85 years old on Sunday. We hadn't realized the big milestone was approaching until CNYRadio.com reader Jerry Reed sent in a picture from the very early days of the station -- along with a history of the station he compiled in 1991. So we have not only a picture, but […]
Updated 6:20pm - In the rush to get this done before heading out to Thanksgiving festivities, your editor forgot to insert the full-size photo into the article. It's here now -- our apologies! AUBURN -- For our second week in a row, thanks to your reader submissions, we have a "classic" Picture of the Week! […]
UTICA/ROME -- It's been awhile since we've had a "classic" Picture of the Week! Today, we're going back to 1962, with a shot submitted by CNYRadio.com reader Jeff Moulton. It's a "terrible tie contest" held by WTLB back in the early 1960s.
UTICA-ROME -- While your editor was at the Great New York State Model Train Fair this past weekend at the State Fairgrounds in Syracuse, his eyes were quickly scanning the vendor tables for good deals.

OSWEGO -- It's the biggest night of the year for virtually every newsroom in the country: Election Night. And WRVO is no exception. The station had "all hands on deck" to report the results, along with a few special guests providing analysis.
SYRACUSE -- As reported earlier this week, 93Q (WNTQ) morning hosts Ted Long and Amy Robbins recently won the Syracuse New Times "Best of Syracuse" award for the "Best Local Morning Radio Show" for the 11th consecutive year.
SYRACUSE -- Morning radio DJs usually have to get up pretty early, which means going to sleep pretty early. But 93Q (WNTQ) morning co-host Amy Robbins recently stayed up a little later to help raise money for the non-profit Children's Consortium of Syracuse.
SYRACUSE -- You've no doubt heard about various concert tours postponing shows or calling them off altogether, citing lack of ticket sales (likely due to consumers getting fed up with high prices). But one local PD says, "we just want to show if you do it right, [look] what happens."
SYRACUSE -- Since we took a break from Picture of the Week last week, it's only appropriate (and a coincidence that we got two submissions) that we come back strong with a 2-for-1 installment. This week, New Country WOLF 105.1/96.7 brings its syndicated morning show hosts into town for the 2nd annual Redneck Games.
