UTICA-ROME — “Superior 95.5″ sounds like the name of a new radio station, but it’s actually the name of a new Spanish-language program airing on WUTQ 95.5 (WUTQ/WADR). The one-hour show, produced and hosted by Adolfo Cova, airs Saturdays at noon. 
UTICA/ROME — It’s a joint effort between radio and TV stations in the Mohawk Valley, and organizers say this year’s “Stuff the Bus” toy drive is on pace to surpass last year’s total of 8,000+ toys. The entire thing wraps up with two events taking place tomorrow — in New Hartford and in Utica.
UTICA-ROME — Locally-owned Roser Communications Network is poised to purchase radio station WRCK from the California-based Educational Media Foundation. The sale, with its $425,000 price tag, was “accepted for filing” by the FCC today, as first reported this morning by AllAccess.com. No word yet on what Roser plans to do with WRCK, but one thing’s for certain — we won’t be seeing a revival of the “Rock 107″ branding Uticans remember from WRCK prior to 2007.

UTICA/ROME — While the rain of Hurricane-turned-Tropical Storm Irene wasn’t too intense for Syracuse, the Utica/Rome area got hit quite hard. Several streets in Oneida and Herkimer Counties have been closed due to severe flooding, and in fact, the NYS Thruway remains closed as of Tuesday night between Syracuse and Amsterdam. The locally-owned Roser cluster of stations is using social media to help people help each other as they clean up after Irene. 
UTICA/ROME — As reported here earlier this week, staffers at ABC affiliate WUTR and Fox affiliate WFXV are feverishly preparing for the September 12 launch of “Eyewitness News.” Aside from learning how to use all their spiffy new HD gear, reporters and anchors have been logging plenty of miles around the area, getting themselves familiar with local landmarks, newsmakers… and even some other media outlets.
UTICA/ROME — Until now, the Buffalo Bills Radio Network has had a gap in coverage between Syracuse and Albany. That gap will be at least partially filled this season as Roser Communications Network’s 95.5FM (WUTQ/WADR/W238CA) becomes the network’s newest affiliate.
