To celebrate this remarkable achievement, Ted—half of the beloved “Ted and Amy in the Morning” show—was surprised by his colleagues with a festive array of balloons and a custom cake that brought laughter to the studio. The cake, adorned with the playful caption “Nobody could ever fill your shoes... or your pants!” featured a photo of Ted proudly holding up a pair of oversized jeans from his past, a nod to his inspiring weight-loss journey following gastric bypass surgery in 2011. The lighthearted tribute perfectly captured Ted’s humor and the camaraderie he shares with his team.
The celebration was shared with fans through a live video on the Ted & Amy 93Q Facebook page, capturing the joyful moment when co-host Amy Robbins, alongside a parade of colleagues, presented Ted with the cake in the studio. Photos from the event, posted afterward, showcased the smiles and warmth that filled the room, reflecting the deep respect and affection Ted has earned over his decades at 93Q.
Ted’s career began almost immediately after high school, as he shared in a 2013 interview with CNYRadio.com when he and Amy celebrated 25 years on air together. Now, nearly 37 years strong, the “Ted and Amy in the Morning” show remains a cornerstone of Central New York’s mornings, blending humor, heart, and music to start listeners’ days on a high note. Their partnership has garnered numerous accolades, including a prestigious induction into the New York State Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame in 2019, a testament to their enduring impact.
