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. NEW YORK CITY — It was just over a year ago that former WSYR morning news anchor Alex Silverman announced he would be leaving WSYR after accepting a position at Seattle’s KIRO. Today, we’ve learned Silverman is headed back to the east coast – for a new job in New York City at WCBS Newsradio 880. 
Updated 3/30: Parkins has Tweeted his new home is Kansas City and he starts his new show there on Monday. His new home is “610 Sports” (KCSP) and his timeslot is weekdays, 9-11am Central. SYRACUSE — He already left Syracuse once in 2009, after graduating from Syracuse University. Today, Danny Parkins surprised listeners by announcing he’s leaving again: today was his final show at The Score 1260 (WSKO). As for his next stop — we’ve been given some hints, but no definite answers yet. 
SYRACUSE — Did you know the Syracuse University Library has one of the largest collections of historical audio recordings in the country? The Belfer Audio Archives includes literally thousands of old cylinder recordings. Thanks to a new program on WAER 88.3, you can learn about another one of these historical pieces every day. 
SYRACUSE — There will be a new radio home for minor league baseball’s Syracuse Chiefs this season: The Score 1260 (WSKO). The news was just announced this afternoon during On the Block with Brent Axe. Jason Benetti, who called the games last year, will return for his second season behind the mic. 
SYRACUSE — They’re both named Mike, and they’ve both recently left Syracuse for media opportunities in other markets. At first, neither was able to discuss their next steps in great detail, but this morning (coincidentally) we’ve learned where former 93Q (WNTQ) jock Mike Cauchon and former Syracuse Chiefs sportscaster Mike Couzens are headed.
SYRACUSE — Even though automation systems in place at virtually every radio station in the region allow for easy and accurate documentation of every single song and advertisement that hits the air, many stations are now being watched by at least one “external” observer around the clock. Mediaguide is now monitoring several stations in the Syracuse Metropolitan Service Area (MSA) effective today. Updated 6/22 with slight corrections.
SYRACUSE — Public broadcaster WRVO took home First Place in the “Radio Newscast” category at the Syracuse Press Club awards dinner on Saturday night. The Oswego-based NPR affiliate took home four other first-place awards and a second-place title. Syracuse-based NPR affiliate WAER had the second-longest list of awards, and WSYR took home three titles. Updated 5/18. CENTRAL NEW YORK — It’s awards season for local media! The Radio/Television Digital News Association recently announced its regional winners, and the Syracuse Press Club recently announced its full slate of award winners, recognizing excellence in journalism during 2009. |
