Updated 8/2 – SUNNYVALE, CA — Over 180 “Sporting News Radio” affiliates across the country, including Syracuse’s The Score 1260 (WSKO) are now affiliates of “Yahoo! Sports Radio.” The rebranding was announced this morning and took effect immediately. But in Central New York, the changes might not be too noticeable.

UTICA-ROME — Today’s shift of ESPN Radio over to Galaxy Communications stations in Syracuse and Utica-Rome has had another impact on competitors. Arjuna Broadcasting’s WNRS 1420 shifts to a hybrid format of Fox Sports Radio during the day and Bloomberg Financial Radio in the evening.
SYRACUSE — Big news from the Citadel camp on James Street this afternoon: the station confirms WNSS will remain a sports-talker branded as “The Score 1260″ as of March 5th. Even more of a surprise: Lite Rock 105.9 will be flipped to an FM talk format, branded as “105.9 The Big Talker.” 
SYRACUSE — Less than a year after he was reinstated to morning drive — following a two-year absence in the market — syndicated talker Don Imus will once again be dropped from the lineup at WHEN.
NEW YORK CITY — Don Imus will be back on TV again very soon. The syndicated morning radio host’s show will be simulcast by the Fox Business Network, beginning October 5th. As part of the deal, radio listeners can expect to hear “The I-Man” talking money a little more often. 
UTICA-ROME — After more than a year and a half on afternoon drive, market fixture Bill Keeler is headed back to his old stomping grounds — morning drive — effective tomorrow. The announcement was made this evening live on WXUR, and at the weekly “Saranac Thursday” party, outside the F.X. Matt Brewery in Utica.
SYRACUSE — Two years and a day after Don Imus was fired by CBS Radio for making racist remarks on the air, the nationally-syndicated morning man will be returning to his former Syracuse affiliate, SportsRadio 620 WHEN.
NEW YORK CITY – Longtime syndicated morning show host Don Imus is battling prostate cancer. The 68-year-old made the announcement on his show this morning.
Don Imus is once again in the hot seat, defending comments he made during his nationally syndicated show Monday morning — comments which some are saying, were racist in nature. Imus explains that wasn’t his intent, and at least one prominent blogger takes his word for it. Imus is heard locally on 92.7 The Drive (WXUR) in the Utica-Rome market.
Sid Rosenberg, the recently fired sports anchor for “Imus in the Morning” is back on the air after apologizing for his on-air comments about Venus and Serena Williams. Saying that he didn’t intend to hurt anyone and that “what I said was not appropriate”, Rosenberg expressed his regrets over comments including that the sisters are more suited to National Geographic than to Playboy. |
