SYRACUSE/UTICA — It’s been 30 years since Dave Frisina started featuring local musicians on his popular show Soundcheck, and this Sunday night, listeners have a rare chance to hear the very first show from 1979.
More ink for TK99/TK105/WOUR middayer Dave Frisina. A little over four months after making the cover of the Syracuse NewTimes, Frisina’s 30-year career in Syracuse radio is being documented by the national trade publication, Radio & Records.
Syracuse’s annual “Chick-N-Wing” festival at the Inner Harbor will be capped off by a special all-day concert called “Soundcheck Live,” commemorating Dave Frisina’s 30 years in radio and just about as long, his show “Soundcheck,” which features local musicians.
We’ve got a 2-for-1 deal on this “Picture of the Week” installment. It’s our first “classic” POTW since CNYRadio.com was relaunched, and it’s our first POTW to represent the Ithaca-Cortland market. The very first management team at SUNY Cortland’s WSUC has some folks who went on to make it big – in radio and other career fields!
It’s been 30 years since Dave Frisina first came on the Syracuse radio scene. The man who started the popular show “Soundcheck” on Citadel’s 95X (WAQX), later taking it with him over to TK99/105 (WTKW-WTKV), is featured in this week’s edition of the Syracuse New Times.
After spending his entire 25-year radio career at 95X (WAQX), Dave Frisina has decided that it’s time for a change.
95X midday air personality Dave Frisina has decided to resign from his post as Chairman of the Syracuse Area Music Awards. Frisina, who will remain on the Sammys executive committee, cited the need to spend more time with his family as the reason for scaling back his involvement. Committee member Mark Ballard will take over the chairmanship. (Source: Syracuse New Times)
