UTICA/ROME — A major restaurant chain known for its great ice cream recently hosted “Free Ice Cream Day” at nearly all of its locations last weekend.  In many markets, radio stations ran live remotes to draw more attention to the event, and it’s been awhile since we’ve had a Picture of the Week from Utica… where Kiss-FM (WSKS/WSKU) was promoting the giveaway.

SYRACUSE — Put your seat belts on and hang on tight, as our latest Picture of the Week takes us back in time to 1980.  Sunny 102′s Big Mike, working for the former 94 Rock at the time, had the chance to meet Charlie Daniels.  We wonder if he’ll wear the same outfit when Charlie Daniels performs at the Taste of Syracuse tomorrow night… [More »]

SYRACUSE — It’s not a bird or a plane… it’s K-Rock (WKRH/WKRL) morning guy Griffin doing the superhero thing recently at one of his station’s  KRock N’ Putt Wednesdays at Fairmount Glen Miniature Golf. [More »]

SYRACUSE  – Listeners to Oldies 1050 (WSEN-AM) had the chance to meet some of the station’s hosts during an Auto Showcase co-sponsored by the station recently at the State Fairgrounds.  Not only were local personalities on hand, but at least one nationally-syndicated host made an appearance as well.

UTICA-ROME — Roser Communications’ Kiss-FM (WSKS/WSKU) recently invited local high schools to submit videotaped entries for the chance to let the simulcast CHR stations “invade” their prom.  The station will be joined by the national recording artists Lovesick Radio, who recently posed for a photo with the station crew.

NEW YORK CITY — We’re out of the market for our latest Picture of the Week, but both of the folks pictured at left are from Central New York, and they’ve both contributed a lot of time to the website you’re reading right now.  But what’s more interesting: the chances of them running into each other for this picture: one in about 32,000.

SYRACUSE — Many garage sale shoppers say they love to look because you never know what you’re going to find.  Among the piles of used clothing and old books, sharp-eyed shoppers occasionally hit the jackpot.  That’s just what CNYRadio.com reader Terrance Neidl did while browsing a garage sale in Liverpool earlier this month.

ITHACA — If you’ve been reading CNYRadio.com for awhile, you might remember last May, when we had a “Name that Studio” Picture of the Week — the “mystery studio” was the home studio of Ithaca’s Rudy Paolangeli.  This week, Rudy has an impressive collection of vintage microphones… see how many you can identify by make or model.

SYRACUSE — We originally had a picture from 93Q (WNTQ) night host Mike Cauchon planned for this week, when we received a photo of morning team Ted & Amy receiving an important award.  Timely events usually win the priority battle, but we didn’t want to make Mike wait yet another week (he submitted his picture about a month ago) — so we present a 2-for-1 special featuring both bookends of the 93Q weekday talent lineup!

UTICA-ROME — Remember WKAL?  Way back before FM radio took hold in the Mohawk Valley, this 1kW station at 1450AM was among the limited options for radio audiences, especially back in the 40s — when WIBX was the only other station in the market.  Today, we hear from a former WKAL personality who recently found our site and decided to share an old publicity poster.
