Syracuse Radio: After 30-Yrs, Kathy Rowe OUT At Y94FM

PD/Longtime morning host Kathy Rowe is out at WYYY Y94FM after more than 30 years with the Syracuse radio station.

iHeartMedia Syracuse Market President Rick Yacobush confirmed to syracuse.com she was "no longer with" Y94FM in a phone interview, but declined to provide further comment.

Rowe had been an on-air personality at Y94FM since 1982, when the station was known as "94 Rock." She became program director of the adult contemporary station in 2001 and was heard on several shifts, including more than a decade as morning show host.

She also appeared at numerous local events, including the annual Syracuse Jazz Fest founded by her husband Frank Malfitano.

Rowe, a Syracuse native and Onondaga Community College alumna, previously worked at WAQX-95X FM and the former WOLF 1490 AM stations.

She celebrated her 30th anniversary at Y94 in 2012.

Yacobush said plans for a new morning show at Y94FM are "under development," but couldn't elaborate on whether it would be another local personality or a syndicated show.
