Rare to see such top-level announcements being made during the weekend, but both Clear Channel and National Public Radio have announced their new Chief Operating Officers today. At CC Media Holdings, ”Chairman of Media and Entertainment Platforms” Bob Pittman gets promoted. And NPR’s new leader will be Gary Knell, who transitions from the same title at Sesame Workshop. A local radio GM is on his way to a new job on the west coast, and a former Utica news anchor who has enjoyed some national face time on cable is back on broadcast TV in Atlanta. 
SYRACUSE — NPR News senior national correspondent Linda Wertheimer will be speaking in Syracuse tomorrow night, sharing stories from her long career with National Public Radio, including her 13 years as the host of All Things Considered. 
OSWEGO — If you’ve got a particularly favorite program on WRVO, you may need to adjust your listening habits. Later this month, the NPR affiliate will be launching a third program stream. The added capacity gives the station some new opportunities to group certain types of programming together, meaning some programs will be moving to new timeslots.
OSWEGO — The award-winning newsroom at the WRVO Stations is growing. The station welcomes “Innovation Trail” reporter Emma Jacobs, who held the same title at Binghamton’s WSKG. In addition, the NPR affiliate is employing several freelance reporters to increase coverage throughout the WRVO coverage area.
UTICA/ROME — The City of Utica is in line for some pretty positive attention in the national spotlight this summer. Interestingly, some might credit the well-publicized controversy over plans for a new mosque near Ground Zero in New York City earlier this year. Utica’s the focus of an upcoming episode of State of the Re:Union, slated to air on more than 250 NPR affiliate stations nationwide. 
SYRACUSE — Top journalists from Syracuse and surrounding markets gathered for the Syracuse Press Club’s 33rd annual Scholarship and Professional Recognition Awards Dinner last night at Drumlins Country Club in Syracuse. Public stations WRVO and WAER dominated the radio categories, while there were plenty of ties for winners in the television categories. 
OSWEGO — The past six months have been rather interesting for WRVO. The NPR affiliate has a new GM, and the station has been watching from afar as lawmakers in Washington have threatened to cut funding for public broadcasting. Those issues are among the topics discussed within three “cover story” articles in a local business magazine.
(Updated 9:15pm) OSWEGO — A one-day fundraiser called “Thousand Member Thursday” is being called a success tonight. Staffers at NPR affiliate WRVO say the station eclipsed their goal, after hearing from more than 1,300 members by the time the one-day fundraiser officially ended this evening. |
