The Cayuga Radio Group launched a new sports formatted radio station in Ithaca Monday.  98.7 'The Buzzer' hit the airwaves with the CBS Sports Radio line up.  The station features the CBS Sports Radio line up – including the popular Jim Rome Show.

“This is an excellent of expansion of sports radio into the Ithaca Market,” Said VP/GM Chet Osadchey.  “CBS gives us the ability to bring the highest quality sports programming to local radio, with nationally known personalities such as Tiki Barber, Jim Rome, Doug Gottlieb, and many other athletes and personalities that contribute regular segments over the airwaves.

Osadchey said that sports radio continues to grow in listenership around the country and expects Ithaca will be no different.  “We are particularly excited about The Jim Rome Show.  For several years, we have received numerous requests to carry this show, and now we are able to fulfil that goal.  Jim’s show is the most interactive, contemporary, and authentic in the sports radio arena.  He is at the top of his game, and listeners cannot get enough of it.”

The Buzzer will also take over broadcasting Cornell Basketball games (previously on 103.3 FM) and also will carry the NFL Buffalo Bills games.  “We have additional plans for local, regional, and national programming, but will add them over an extended period of time.
