SYRACUSE — The search for a new brand manager at TK99/TK105 (WTKW/WTKV) is over. Harvey Kojan — whose career includes on-air and programming experience across upstate New York, and in major markets like Houston and Baltimore — will join the classic rock stations early next month.
SYRACUSE — It’s not often you hear the phrase “multiple openings” when talking about jobs in radio, but this is one of those occasions. Galaxy Communications is looking for both full-time and part-time help in its production department. Read on for the full job description submitted to CNYRadio.com today:
SYRACUSE — Tickets go on sale this Saturday for Krockathon 18, which will be held on July 27 at the New York State Fairgrounds. Chevelle, Sevendust and All That Remains are just three of the 11 bands who were announced by K-Rock (WKRL/WKRH/WKLL) today, and the stations promise “more” to be announced prior to the concert date.
SYRACUSE — A family name familiar to longtime Syracuse residents is back on the air. While Sunny 102 (WZUN) morning meteorologist Mike Ellis is out for the next 5 weeks, Jamie DeLine will be filling in. The recent NYU graduate is the daughter of the late Dick DeLine, and grand-daughter of Jim DeLine, who was on both radio and TV in Syracuse, decades ago.
SYRACUSE — Recent changes at the Syracuse Post-Standard have resulted in a “stunning” increase in revenue for local radio stations. That’s according to Galaxy Communications CEO/President Ed Levine, who says the newspaper’s changes have helped not just his own stations, but the entire Syracuse radio market as a whole.
SYRACUSE — While it’s not officially a “done deal” yet, Galaxy Communications is reportedly expected to hold onto the radio rights for Syracuse University football, basketball and lacrosse for at least another five years. Both sides have spoken favorably about each other, and it appears an official deal could be announced sometime this week.
SYRACUSE — High praise from one of the region’s most prominent charitable organizations for Galaxy Communications President/CEO Ed Levine and his wife, Pam, GM of the company’s Events division. The couple will be honored as “MVPs” this year at The Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation’s 14th annual Basket Ball Gala.
SYRACUSE — Rock fans, get ready to head north. K-Rock’s Dysfunctional Family BBQ moves to the Oswego Speedway for its 7th year. In addition to that new location, the trio of modern rock stations covering the Syracuse and Utica-Rome markets announced a lineup of six bands for the May 18 concert. Tickets go on-sale this Saturday.
SYRACUSE — For the second time in a week, Sunny 102.1 (WZUN) morning man “Big Mike” Fiss has had the pleasure of debuting a new twist on a classic hit. This time, he has teamed up with Dennis Brogan — or as he’s more popularly known among fans — The Dome Ranger. In case you haven’t heard the new song on Sunny 102, we’ve got the audio here as well.
SYRACUSE — It’s a busy week at Classic Hits Sunny 102.1 (WZUN). The Galaxy-owned station is the newest affiliate of syndicated host John Tesh, airing seven nights a week. And the station becomes at least the third in the market to roll out its own “Orange version” of a popular song, to help cheer on the SU men’s basketball team as they make their way through the NCAA tournament.
