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. On-air personalities will also be blanketing their listening areas on what the cluster is calling “A Day of CommUNITY.”
ITHACA — They called it “A Major Fundraiser” — and they had good reason for the name. All seven stations in Saga’s Cayuga Radio Group urged listeners for contributions to help bring a new police K-9 to Tompkins County after the previous dog, Major, recently died of cancer. Listeners surpassed all expectations.
ITHACA/CORTLAND — Look for some personality changes on the Ithaca radio dial. “Hits Girl Katie” from Hits 103.3 (W277BS) is heading south to New York City, as the station announces the search for its next Hits Girl. Meantime, sister station Lite Rock 97.3 (WYXL) is adding syndicated host Tom Kent to its weekend lineup. 
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.
ITHACA — Saga’s Cayuga Radio Group is on the lookout for a traffic manager… meaning “schedule the commercials” kind of traffic, not the “Route 13 is jammed” kind of traffic. It’s a fast paced job, and while experience is preferred — especially with Marketron — training will be provided for the right candidate. 
ITHACA — Observant CNYRadio.com readers have noticed some changes at Saga’s Lite Rock 97.3 (WYXL) over the past couple of weeks: about a week after morning co-host Brian Stoll disappeared from the station, a new co-host is in place. Dave Ashton, a familiar name to local listeners, is back in the market — not only for mornings, but to program the station as well.
ITHACA/CORTLAND — Saga’s cluster of Ithaca/Cortland stations, also known as The Cayuga Radio Group, is looking for a new Chief Engineer. The official job posting reads as follows:
ITHACA — The FCC has ordered Saga Communications to pay $10,000 in fines, in regards to what the Commission has ruled to be “willful violations” the company made regarding transmitter W240CB. The ruling came after complaints were filed by the Geneva-based Finger Lakes Media Group, who argued W240CB’s signal at 95.9FM had interfered with programming from Z95.5 (WFIZ). |
