As CBS News Radio correspondent Peter King notes, a number
of the radio business’ successful talent got their start working at radio
stations in Ithaca , New York
King and his brother Rick Sommers – former WLTW, New York staffer and currently broadcast liaison for the
New York Local of SAG-AFTRA – are planning to write a book chronicling the history of radio in Ithaca New York
According to King, “We both got our professional starts as
students at Ithaca College (and WICB-AM/FM), and later, WTKO, and the litany of
talent that came through town is amazing – not just at WICB and WTKO — but WVBR, WHCU and later, the FMs that
began broadcasting there!”
King calls the venture his labor of love and would like to
hear from others who’ve worked in the market.
He is looking for
cans of photos, memorabilia, sales material, promotional items, etc. Anyone wishing to help can contact the
project via email at ithacaradioproject@gmail.com. Rick Sommers can be contacted directly at
rick.sommers@sagaftra.org .
