SYRACUSE — Hey, I don’t care what you think about Amy, that’s no way to refer to her! Just kidding, of course — even if you’re not a fan of Jersey Shore, chances are pretty good you know “The Situation” is the nickname of Mike Sorrentino, one of the stars of the hit MTV series. He appeared at any event hosted by 93Q (WNTQ) at Turning Stone Resort and Casino’s Lava night club.

SYRACUSE — Cumulus top-40 station 93Q (WNTQ) is hosting “Five Dates in Five Days” to find a Valentine for Town of Salina supervisor Mark Nicotra. After all five dates, listeners get to vote for who they feel was the most compatible date. 
SAN ANTONIO, TX — It’s an unprecedented deal between two of the biggest companies in radio: Cumulus Media is joining iHeartRadio, the platform owned by Clear Channel which already provides mobile streaming of more than 800 Clear Channel stations. By adding the 570 stations owned by Cumulus, iHeartRadio will offer roughly 1400 stations — many direct competitors with each other — through one single application. 
SYRACUSE — Congratulations to Cumulus Media Syracuse Market Manager Shane Bogardus, who was among this year’s “40 Under 40″ honorees for the Syracuse region. The awards were presented during a special luncheon held today in downtown Syracuse. 
UPDATED 11/21 at 6:00pm — We’re back from a little more than a week “off the grid” (a.k.a. vacation). Here’s a quick recap — bullet points first, details to follow — on some of the stories that happened while your editor was away.
SYRACUSE — Among TV stations, it was a fairly even split between channels 3 and 9 for the 2011 Best of Syracuse awards. On the radio side, 93Q (WNTQ) is the big winner. The awards were announced in today’s edition of the weekly Syracuse NewTimes newspaper. 
SYRACUSE — You may have heard on the air (or read on CNYRadio.com’s Facebook page), that 93Q (WNTQ) morning co-host Ted Long underwent gastric bypass surgery last week. We’re glad to report he returned to work yesterday. According to a report published today, Long has already lost nearly 25 pounds — and says he wants to shed another 125. 
ATLANTA — It’s been a long time in the works, and now it’s official: the merger of Citadel Broadcasting and Cumulus Media is complete. Cumulus made the announcement this morning. It’s basically more of a takeover, as Citadel is technically a “wholly-owned subsidiary” of Cumulus. The deal involves four Syracuse market radio stations.
ATLANTA — The merger between Cumulus and Citadel is all but complete. Citadel stockholders and the FCC approved the merger today, following the Department of Justice’s early termination of an anti-trust “waiting period” on Tuesday. All that’s left is for the official closing of the deal — and that’s expected to happen tomorrow. Citadel owns four Syracuse radio stations. The merged company will keep the Cumulus name.
