SYRACUSE -- The show that prefers to call itself "The Show" wasn't allowed to be "The Show" for the past 90 days. But today, the expiration of a legal injunction allowed the morning crew at K-Rock (WKRL/WKRH/WKLL) to regain its identity as "The Show."
SYRACUSE -- It's a new but familiar voice on mornings at 95X (WAQX), as the Cumulus-owned active rocker debuted The Robinson Show today. The new wake-up host worked for 95X once before, as the station's night host in 2003. In between, he's been working at Rochester stations WCMF and WBZA.

The pair has been doing mornings at KROCK […]
Updated 6:00pm -- SYRACUSE -- Josh Grosvent and Hunter Scott will be allowed to continue hosting mornings for KROCK stations in the Syracuse (WKRL/WKRH) and Utica-Rome (WKLL) markets. But a state judge says the pair cannot refer to their program as "The Show" anymore. The judge also set forth some other conditions, after discussing the […]
Updated 1:10pm -- SYRACUSE -- There's another choice for rock radio in Central New York. Cumulus Media killed "105.9 The Big Talker" this morning... and after a few hours of stunting, "105.9 The Rebel" launched at 1:05pm. Cumulus Ops Manager Tom Mitchell says the station was inspired by "hundreds of rock music fans throughout Central […]
