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 […]
UTICA/ROME -- You may have read in the national trades by now, about yet another round of cuts by Clear Channel. This time around, the cuts mainly targeted production staffers. One of those pink-slipped this week was Randy Spicer, who went to work for CC in Atlanta after more than a dozen years at Utica's […]
CENTRAL NEW YORK -- If you've been away for awhile, CNYRadio.com is celebrating it's 10th anniversary this week. The site went live on March 1, 2001... and we've been running a series of special articles this week to mark the occasion.

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 […]
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 -- The four stations owned by Connecticut-based Townsquare Media have brand new websites. The company says it's part of an initiative to "re-launch all its local radio stations' digital properties" -- for 171 radio stations in 36 markets -- by the end of the first quarter of 2011.
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 […]
UTICA-ROME -- There are now two stations in the Mohawk Valley playing holiday hits around the clock. Just like last year, Lite 98.7 (WLZW) chose today, the day after Thanksgiving, as the date to make the change.
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. Meantime, his girlfriend spotted an interesting find on a display board assembled by the Utica & Mohawk Valley Chapter of […]
SYRACUSE and UTICA-ROME -- With Halloween 2010 just barely into the history books, two local radio stations are already looking ahead to Christmas. And based on previous years' experience (2009 | 2008) -- it's no surprise that Galaxy's Sunny 102 (WZUN/Phoenix) and Mix 102.5 (WUMX/Rome) are those first two stations to make the switch.
