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.

SYRACUSE — The new afternoon show Disturbing the Peace was supposed to debut yesterday on The New ESPN Radio (WTLA/WSGO/W249BC/W259AX).  But listeners who tuned in during the advertised 2-6pm timeslot heard ESPN network programming instead.  We checked in with Galaxy Communications management to see what happened.

SYRACUSE — Two more pro sports adds to the lineup at The New ESPN Radio (WTLA/WSGO).  The stations, which include the two AMs and two FM translators (97.7 and 100.1) will be carrying all Boston Red Sox games this season, as well as The Masters Tournament.

SYRACUSE — Starting in March, there will be a new home for ESPN Radio.  Galaxy Communications is not only taking over the network affiliation from Citadel’s WNSS 1260 — the company will be offering ESPN’s programming on the FM band, and it will bring the Spanish-language programming of ESPN Deportes into the market.
