ITHACA/CORTLAND — Saga’s Cayuga Radio Group cluster in Ithaca is accepting applications for a full-time traffic assistant. As you might have guessed, we’re talking about the “scheduling commercials” kind of traffic, not reporting about road work and car accidents.
ITHACA — A live broadcast this Friday from the Freedom Tower in New York City is just one of several ways the stations of the Cayuga Radio Group will be reflecting on the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.

SYRACUSE — Former WSYR radio news anchor Eric Reinhardt is returning to radio full-time. After spending the last 3 years working for the Central New York Business Journal (and voicing “Business Briefs from the Central New York Business Journal” for WSYR), Reinhardt will join the news team at Buffalo’s WBEN this Monday. Earlier this week, some former colleagues gathered to bid Eric farewell.
ITHACA — They called it “A Major Fundraiser” — and they had good reason for the name.

Listeners surpassed all expectations. 
ITHACA — It’s not often we hear about news from ESPN Radio 1160 (WPIE) in Ithaca — but multiple reports say owner Pembrook Pines is selling the station for $150,000. Incoming owner Taughannock Media hasn’t closed on the deal yet, but they’re already taking over sales efforts for the station. 
ITHACA/CORTLAND — It’s a special edition of the locally-produced Homemade Jam this weekend on rocker I-100 (WIII).

Dio’s wife announced last November that Dio had been diagnosed with stomach cancer. 
ITHACA/CORTLAND — For 12 hours tomorrow, you’ve got the chance to request virtually any song you want on any of three radio stations in the Cayuga Radio Group owned by Saga Communications. It’ll cost you — but the money’s going to a good cause. It’s “Tunes for Tails” to benefit the SPCA of Tompkins County.
ITHACA/CORTLAND — Stations owned by Saga Communications hold four of the top five spots in the latest public ratings data released by Arbitron. Leading the pack, Q-Country 103.7 (WQNY), posting more than a full-point gain since last spring, going from a 13.8 to a 14.9 among persons age 12+ in the Fall 2009 survey. 
Less than a week after Citadel Broadcasting announced it may soon be exploring “the possibility of seeking relief through a Chapter 11 filing,” one prominent online columnist explains why he thinks Regent could be in a similar situation. Both companies own stations in Central New York. |
