ITHACA/CORTLAND — Dave Vieser has resigned from his post as APD and co-host of the Morning News Watch on Ithaca news/talker WHCU. Although some fans were displeased with the brief announcement made by the station on Friday morning, possibly fearing Vieser was laid off, GM Susan Johnston tells CNYRadio.com that Vieser resigned on his own accord.

ITHACA — A live broadcast this Friday from the Freedom Tower in New York City is just one of several ways the stations of the Cayuga Radio Group will be reflecting on the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. On-air personalities will also be blanketing their listening areas on what the cluster is calling “A Day of CommUNITY.”
ITHACA — They called it “A Major Fundraiser” — and they had good reason for the name. All seven stations in Saga’s Cayuga Radio Group urged listeners for contributions to help bring a new police K-9 to Tompkins County after the previous dog, Major, recently died of cancer. Listeners surpassed all expectations. 
ITHACA/CORTLAND — After four years on the job, the producer of WHCU’s Morning Newswatch is heading elsewhere. That means the station is on the lookout for a replacement. The part-time job carries a 20-hour schedule; four hours every weekday afternoon.
ITHACA/CORTLAND — WHCU is among several new affiliates airing “The Wall Street Journal this Morning with Gordon Deal,” according to a report published Wednesday. The news/talk station, owned by Saga Communications, is one of ten new affiliates for the 30-minute show, which airs locally at 5:30 weekday mornings.
ITHACA — Plenty of good news at the end of 2010 for WHCU evening news anchor Syl Kacapyr is not-so-good news for the Saga-owned news/talker. Syl got engaged and got a new job, so now the station is looking to hire a replacement. 
ITHACA/CORTLAND — Even though there’s plenty of fun to be had in broadcasting… ever wondered what it’s like to change your career? One morning news man recently had the chance to try his hand at a different trade.
ITHACA — News-Talk 870/95.9 (WHCU) is putting out the call for applications “for future openings in the Cayuga Radio Group news department,” says Assistant PD Dave Veiser. 
ALBANY — He worked primarily in print media, referred to as “the dean” of State Capitol journalists by the Albany Times-Union… but he was also a frequent contributor to WHCU’s Morning Newswatch. Former Gannett Albany bureau chief Jay Gallagher passed away Monday evening in an Albany hospital after battling pancreatic cancer for nearly a year. Today, WHCU’s Dave Vieser shares some of his memories of working with Gallagher. 
ITHACA/CORTLAND — There are three more HD Radio offerings in the market now, thanks to the recent addition of multicasting equipment at Saga’s Q-Country 103.7 (WQNY). The market’s perennial ratings leader is now available in HD, and its subchannels are helping to improve the coverage of its two AM sister stations in the Cayuga Radio Group cluster. |
