ITHACA — For nearly sixty years, listeners tuning in to News-Talk 870 WHCU may have heard the voice of Barbara Hall, the station’s longtime Women’s Editor. We’re sorry to hear word from Ithaca of Hall’s passing on Tuesday at the age of 89.

ITHACA — We’re back from a solid week off (anyone notice?) with a double Picture of the Week. Our thanks to Rudy Paolangeli, who sent in two historic shots related to heritage Ithaca news/talker WHCU. We’ve got one shot from the 90s and another that goes back to at least the 70s. 
ITHACA — This week, we’re heading more than half a century back in time, for another look into the extensive collection of longtime Ithaca broadcaster Rudy Paolangeli. Although Rudy may be best known for his long-standing connections with WHCU, this photo goes back even further. 
How many of you CNYRadio readers remember the Western Electric 630A microphone? Nicknamed “the 8-ball” due to its shape, this non-directional microphone was used exclusively at WHCU in Ithaca, New York during the 1940s and 1950s. 
Updated 6:20pm - In the rush to get this done before heading out to Thanksgiving festivities, your editor forgot to insert the full-size photo into the article. It’s here now — our apologies! 
ITHACA — If you’ve been reading CNYRadio.com for awhile, you might remember last May, when we had a “Name that Studio” Picture of the Week — the “mystery studio” was the home studio of Ithaca’s Rudy Paolangeli. This week, Rudy has an impressive collection of vintage microphones… see how many you can identify by make or model. 
MYSTERY LOCATION — After a depressing start to the short week, we thought we’d try to lighten the mood by adding a little “trivia twist” to the Picture of the Week. Can you identify the studio and what year? OK, so you may not have seen every studio everywhere — neither have we. How about guessing at least the market and the decade?
