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.

SYRACUSE — The winners for this year’s Syracuse Press Club awards have been announced. On the radio side, public broadcasters led the pack. In TV, it’s a neck-and-neck race between WSYR-TV and WSTM-TV. And we’re also very happy to report CNYRadio.com appears on the award list as well.
