We Need To Lead A March On Albany To Finally Build A Conference Center

Richie Phillips — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 15:53:37 +0000

They’ve been working on this for almost a decade, they haven’t gotten anywhere. The Capital of New York State STILL has NO New York State convention center, and it may not get one! According to the GothamGazette.com there’s a darn good chance it’s never going to happen, especially with the current economic “state of the state”. [...]

A Couple of GREAT Albany Area Cellphone Apps

Richie Phillips — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 16:09:46 +0000

There are like 500,000 iPhone apps and counting! Some of them actually refer to businesses right in our area. I have to mention 2 of them here, in case you are a APPaholic. The first one is RadioPup. It’s nothing short of awesome, and I would say that even if I didn’t work here. [...]

Five Places Named Albany

"Brother" Lou Roberts — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 22:11:58 +0000

When I was a little kid, I remember hearing about Albany, California. I wondered how can that be? Two places called Albany? Obviously as I got older, I understood. Not to mention, I believe they pronounce it like a persons’ name – Al bany, instead of All bany. I decided to do a little research. [...]

Keith Urban At The Times Union Center

Photos from the Keith Urban show at the Times Union Center. Just one week to the day after Countryfest Keith Urban comes to Albany’s Times Union Center. It has been one crazy week. Now I know I have the hardest job in the radio business as a station photographer. But as long as we have [...]

Albany's Very Own Taste of History With the USS Slater

"Brother" Lou Roberts — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 14:25:31 +0000

It seems like some of us forget about some of the cool stuff there is to do right in our own backyard. In an earlier blog, I mention a few places that you can go for a local day trip, around the Albany area.

Hey China–Pick Up Your Space Garbage

Jake Thomas — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 20:52:27 +0000

China has become a real pain in our butts here in America. They flood our market with cheaply priced goods and put a ton of our own manufacturing base out of work. Now they are putting our astronauts in danger in space because their space junk from their cheap satellites is floating around up there. [...]

Don't Be Too Jealous About Lottery Winners

Richie Phillips — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 12:17:17 +0000

This is a follow-up to my last blog about the poor NYS Lottery loser. I took the stance that I feel sorry for the poor gentleman who decided not to buy a lottery ticket and therefore lost out on his cut of $319,000,000. Actually, after seeing this story on YouTube, I might actually feel sorry for some of the winners!

WGNA Countryfest Photo Flashback #1. Can You Guess the Year?

Richie Phillips — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 15:22:01 +0000

Ever watch the show “Hoarders”? Where the people live amongst their belongings-sometimes to the point where they have to move out because the belongings have taken over their abode? I can relate to it. Well, in a way, I can relate! (Wow-what a thing to admit!) Let me qualify that statement. I’m a [...]

One War You Gotta Love-A Pizza War! (audio)

This is going to be amazing! We’re having a pizza war, and you’re invited. In fact, we’re looking for enlistments! It’s a short stint- 1 nite only!!! I’m sure we’ll find WMD’s (weapons of mass digestion)–(ok, ’nuff said).We’ll be back after a word from our sponsor That’s right. It’s all going down at Proctor’s [...]

Albany NY Residents Livid Over Towed Cars

Richie Phillips — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 00:23:45 +0000

Recently, over 150 automobiles were towed in the city of Albany for being, shall we say, in the “wrong place at the wrong time”. Many had to pay over $200.00 in towing and ticket fees. Pretty “unhappy” campers to say the least. Poor people need a song to ease their pain. I’m here to [...]
