Syracuse NY Radio: Bud&The Manchild Show Returning To WSKO

The Bud and the Manchild Radio Show is heading back to WSKO The Score 1260 AM.

The independently-owned sports talk radio show will return to the CNY airwaves on Tuesday, May 30, 2017.  The show has aired on WTLA-AM and FM for the last year and a half.  Bud and the Manchild has been off the air for the past few weeks.

“A change was needed to get the show back on track in terms of our core values,” Jim Lerch, co-host of the show said.  “Cumulus Media and the Score 1260 were great partners in the past and we are very excited to join forces with them again.  It was very tough leaving The Score 1260 in 2015, and we consider that decision a mistake. We are thrilled to be working with Cumulus Media once again.”
The live sports talk radio show will be broadcast on Cumulus Media’s WSKO 1260 AM from 10am-12 noon weekdays, the same time slot the show has occupied for the past five and a half years.

Beth Coughlin, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Syracuse, said: “We are pleased that Bud and the Manchild are coming back home to The Score 1260.”

Bud and the Manchild is co-hosted by Jim “The Manchild” Lerch, a veteran Central New York TV and radio personality and Bud Poliquin, the now-retired sports columnist of Syracuse.com and the Post Standard newspaper.  The two started the show back in 2002, which makes it the longest running sports talk show in Syracuse.
