NorthEast Radio Watch 9/5/2022: Mitchell Out at Cumulus

In this week’s issue… Turnover in Syracuse – Bloomsburg goes “Pop” – Philly focuses on “RNB” – No My in Boston – LaFlamme fallout continues – Remembering Boyle, Driscoll, Bourne

*One of the true good guys in upstate NEW YORK radio is out of work. Tom Mitchell had been operations manager of Cumulus’ Syracuse cluster and PD of WNTQ (93Q) since 1996, a remarkable 26-year run in an industry where few last that long. (But then 93Q is all about stability – the morning team of Ted Long and Amy Robbins are at 33 years and counting with their show.)

Those of us with longer memories know Mitchell’s programming career started back in 1982, when he oversaw the transition of Rochester’s WPXY from beautiful music to the top-40 format it still carries; in the 1990s, he moved on to program WTIC-FM in Hartford and to serve as OM of WMME and WEBB in Augusta, Maine, which were then sister stations to WNTQ under Pilot Communications.

In a Facebook post announcing his exit, which he described as an “amicable departure,” Mitchell said he’s not done with radio after 45 years, and is now open “to any discussions of future opportunities that fit what I have to offer.”

No replacement has been announced.

SPRING IS HERE…

And if you don’t have your Tower Site Calendar, now’s the time!

If you’ve been waiting for the price to come down, it’s now 30 percent off!

This year’s cover is a beauty — the 100,000-watt transmitter of the Voice Of America in Marathon, right in the heart of the Florida Keys. Both the towers and the landscape are gorgeous.

And did you see? Tower Site of the Week is back, featuring this VOA site as it faces an uncertain future. 

Other months feature some of our favorite images from years past, including some Canadian stations and several stations celebrating their centennials (buy the calendar to find out which ones!).

We still have a few of our own calendars left – as well as a handful of Radio Historian Calendars – and we are still shipping regularly.

The proceeds from the calendar help sustain the reporting that we do on the broadcast industry here at Fybush Media, so your purchases matter a lot to us here – and if that matters to you, now’s the time to show that support with an order of the Tower Site Calendar. (And we have the Broadcast Historian’s Calendar for 2025, too. Why not order both?) 

Visit the Fybush Media Store and place your order now for the new calendar, get a great discount on previous calendars, and check out our selection of books and videos, too!
