UTICA/ROME -- After 43 years in radio -- the last 15 of them on mornings at Big Frog 104 (WFRG) -- Bill McAdams (a/k/a "Tadpole"), is getting ready to hang up his headphones. And the station that often tops the Utica-Rome ratings charts already has a replacement lined up.
Longtime WIBX news reporter/anchor Jeff Monaski has been promoted to News Director, according to AllAccess.com.
Big Frog 104 (WFRG) has a new co-host for longtime morning personality Matt Herkimer, replacing "Annie Croakley," who left earlier in the year. Thanks to a tip from a CNYRadio.com visitor a few weeks ago, we were expecting this one anytime now -- and we now finally see confirmation on WFRG's new website.
From the "better late than never" file, AllAccess.com reports that WIBX has signed a deal to carry live coverage of Utica College sports. Former Clear Channel "Sports Stars Network" personalities Dave Peroni and Fred Miller will serve as commentators.
