SYRACUSE — It’s a blast from the past in this latest installment of “Picture of the Week.” NewsChannel 9 (WSYR-TV) anchor and Syracuse broadcast historian Rod Wood recently sent over several photos from his extensive collection. This week, we look back at a WTVH publicity photo from the late 1980s or early 90s. Can you name everyone in this photo?

SYRACUSE — Hey, I don’t care what you think about Amy, that’s no way to refer to her! Just kidding, of course — even if you’re not a fan of Jersey Shore, chances are pretty good you know “The Situation” is the nickname of Mike Sorrentino, one of the stars of the hit MTV series. He appeared at any event hosted by 93Q (WNTQ) at Turning Stone Resort and Casino’s Lava night club. 
BUFFALO — It’s two franchises for the price of one today: this is a “Picture of the Week” and a “Where Are They Now” together in the same post. This week’s photo comes to us from Grant deBruin, formerly of Syracuse’s WSYR-TV and Utica’s WKTV. 
SYRACUSE — Public broadcaster WCNY may not have traditional pledge drives anymore, but it still needs to generate revenue. During the six nights of TravelAuc, viewers bid on more than 1,000 getaways to destinations near and far. But everything you see on TravelAuc doesn’t just magically appear by itself… 
SYRACUSE — A handful of former Clear Channel Syracuse employees (mostly from WSYR radio) gathered for an impromptu “reunion” on New Year’s Eve. We’ll borrow a phrase commonly used by one of the attendees to say the gathering took place at “an undisclosed location” within Onondaga County. 
SYRACUSE — It’s pretty routine to see sports announcers like “Voice of the Orange” Matt Park along the sidelines during TV coverage of Syracuse University men’s basketball games. But if you were paying attention just after SU finished its 75-49 trampling of Seton Hall on Wednesday night at the Carrier Dome, you might have spotted another local radio personality who hammed it up for the TV camera. 
SYRACUSE — Years before the practice of radio stations “going all-Christmas” became a popular trend across the country, there was Big Mike’s Christmas Broadcast. Every year, Sunny 102′s Big Mike Fiss invites dozens of local musicians to perform holiday favorites live on the air. This year was particularly notable — it was the 30th year Fiss has staged his popular Christmas special. 
SYRACUSE — It’s a double dose of holiday favorites on “The Wax Museum,” a specialty show which airs Sunday nights on Love Radio WVOA 95.3, 98.1 and 103.9. This weekend, legendary vocalist Sonny Farrar will join the guys live in-studio to perform some of his own Christmas favorites. And there’s more holiday favorites the following Sunday — Christmas night. 
UTICA/ROME — It’s a joint effort between radio and TV stations in the Mohawk Valley, and organizers say this year’s “Stuff the Bus” toy drive is on pace to surpass last year’s total of 8,000+ toys. The entire thing wraps up with two events taking place tomorrow — in New Hartford and in Utica. 
SYRACUSE — When it comes to local television news, the Carrier Dome is usually the domain of sports reporters and sports anchors. But ever since the Bernie Fine story broke about two weeks ago, stations have been changing their usual staffing arrangements to cover the developments. |
