Apparently, the Sounds of Sinatra have been silenced at WROW.
Magic 100.5 FM abruptly dropped Sounds from the schedule, giving Jaime Roberts some extra time on Sunday mornings, as she fills the 10-noon slot where Sounds had been. Either the contract with the syndicator expired, or the ratings may have told Albany Broadcasting suits that it was time to move on.
Meanwhile, Albany Street host Bill Williams has sheared two hours from his Sunday DJ block. Promotions director Candace Curby is back on the air, Sundays from 5-7 pm, as Williams, who boasts of nearly 5 decades in radio, is slowly inching toward retirement.

Props to fellow blogger and 518 native Chuck Miller for this next item.
518 music legends Blotto will be the subjects of a documentary coming out "soon", per the band's YouTube channel. There performance clips of the band, archived interviews, and a clip of the group's earlier iteration as the Star Spangled Washboard Band from The Mike Douglas Show. Also, there's a choice clip of the band hanging out with homegirl Martha Quinn on MTV back in the day....
I am SO seeing this when it comes out.
=======================================================
The warmer temperatures forecast for this week should put an end to the ice coating large chunks of the streets in the tri-cities. However, a shortage of rock salt or ice melt was not on anyone's bingo card.
In downtown Troy alone, there are long stretches of ice, left untreated, in front of vacant storefronts, such as the defunct Troy Light Company on Congress Street. A recent news article on WNYT, for example, emphasized that property owners have to do their part, too, and not rely on the city to clear the sidewalks.
And before anyone blames a certain loose screw in Washington for the rock salt shortage, or even his predecessor, it's not their fault.
