*We can fill in a few more blanks on the NEW YORK City radio schedule this week (and open a new one), now that several of the city’s radio groups have announced new hires.
At Audacy, the new WCBS-FM (101.1) morning show with John Foxx now has a co-host, as Foxx reunites with a former WPLJ colleague, Anne Marie Leamy, who was a co-host of the “Todd and Jayde” morning show . The move brings “Annie” Leamy back to the city after three years as morning co-host on iHeart’s WRNQ (Q92) in Poughkeepsie, where she’d also worked at WSPK and WPKF before joining WPLJ.
The new “Fox and Annie” WCBS-FM show will debut February 13 from 6-10 AM, and it now has a somewhat unusual morning lead-in: WCBS-FM now simulcasts 15 minutes of news from its all-news sister WCBS (880) from 5:30 until 5:45, in what looks like a bid to give 880 a bit of FM attention after its sister station WINS (1010) added the WINS-FM 92.3 signal last year.
THE 2025 TOWER SITE CALENDAR IS SHIPPING NOW!
Behold, the 2025 calendar!
We chose the 100,000-watt transmitter of the Voice Of America in Marathon, right in the heart of the Florida Keys. This picture has everything we like in our covers — blue skies, greenery, water, and of course, towers! The history behind this site is a draw, too.
Other months feature some of our favorite images from years past, including some Canadian stations and several stations celebrating their centennials (can you guess? you don’t have to if you buy the calendar!).
We will ship daily through Christmas Eve. Place your order now for immediate shipping!
This will be the 24th edition of the world-famous Tower Site Calendar, and your support will determine whether it will be the final edition.
It’s been a complicated few years here, and as we finish up production of the new edition, we’re considering the future of this staple of radio walls everywhere as we evaluate our workload going forward.
The proceeds from the calendar help sustain the reporting that we do on the broadcast industry here at Fybush Media, so your purchases matter a lot to us here – and if that matters to you, now’s the time to show that support with an order of the new Tower Site Calendar. (And we have the new Broadcast Historian’s Calendar for 2025 ready to ship, too. Why not order both?)
Visit the Fybush Media Store and place your order now for the next calendar, get a great discount on previous calendars, and check out our selection of books and videos, too!
