Stop In and Record A Testimonial WRVO will once again be recording a series of listener testimonials this summer. If you or someone you know is a WRVO addict, come in and tell us why! We’ll interview you about your WRVO experience and edit your responses into a 30 to 60 second spot that will premiere during our Fall 2009 Fundraiser in October. Our business hours are Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but we would be happy to accommodate your schedule if you’re unavailble to come in at those times. When you record your testimonial in our Oswego studios, we’ll also show you around and introduce you to some of the people you hear everyday and get a behind-the-scenes look at a working radio station. You’ll be able to share your thoughts about WRVO with all of Central and Northern New York. Your words might encourage a long time listener who’s been thinking about becoming a member to take the final step and support WRVO! If you’re interested in recording your testimonial, or would like more information about this project, please contact WRVO Membership Manager Elizabeth Christensen at 1-800-341-3690 or drop her an email at liz@wrvo.fm.

Summer 2009 Page 3 Programming Odds ‘n Ends by Fred Vigeant, Program Director WRVO has a new Morning Producer/Reporter WRVO welcomes Ryan Morden as the new Morning Edition Producer/Reporter. Ryan comes to the Central New York area from Seattle. He graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Journalism and minored in Political Science and Scandinavian studies. Prior to trading the West Coast for the East Coast, he covered the Washington state legislature as a correspondent for the Northwest News Network. The stories Ryan filed for N3 went out to nine NPR affiliates in the Northwest, including KUOW in Seattle and OPB in Portland. Prior to his work at N3, Ryan worked as an assistant morning news editor at KIRO radio, a commercial News/ Talk station in Seattle. He joined KIRO in spring of 2007 as a part time board-op and fill-in talk show producer. During that time, he produced talk shows for CBS Radio commentator Dave Ross and Ron Reagan. Off the clock, Ryan enjoys government & politics, reading non-fiction and literature from the edges, baseball, road trips, brew pubs, catching up on TV shows via Hulu and he’s currently pursuing MBA studies at SUNY-Oswego. Ryan has settled in well at WRVO and is a fine addition to our award-winning news department. Capitol Steps July 4th Radio Special Joe Biden has announced that the Capitol Steps July 4th Radio show is “the finest radio program since President Ben Franklin debated George Washington Carver, inventor of the peanut, on Morning Edition.” It’s the July 4th edition of Politics Takes a Holiday. Made possible by legislation contained in the Political Satire Recovery Act of 2009. Good company on WRVO Saturday July 4 at 12:30pm and Sunday July 5 at 8:00pm. WRVO’s Community Forum brings you into the discussion with a lively debate about topics of local concern. WRVO will host community forums on a quarterly basis. September – With a tight state budget, and a forecast for tighter ones ahead, where will that leave the State University of New York. We examine the state’s budget impact on the SUNY system. October – The fall elections will bring a new Syracuse Mayor. WRVO is planning a Syracuse Mayoral Candidate Forum. This forum will have discussion on the race with the candidates just before Election Day 2009. We’re also putting together our plans for upcoming community forums. Do you have an idea for a topic? We are looking for great ideas to bring together the community with thinkers, experts, and decision makers. Let us know your ideas or thoughts, by sending us a postcard, calling our comment line, or sending us a message through Facebook or Twitter. We would love to hear from you today! L.A. Theatre Works Compelling stories by inspiring playwrights set the stage for headline actors in the national launch of L.A. Theatre Works. The series will air starting July 4th at 8pm, as part of the WRVO Playhouse and will continue every Saturday night for the next year. The series also repeats at 10pm on Mondays. And my last program-related reminder is for the Friday Night Feature, which is made up of documentaries, debates and sound-rich reporting from the best known public radio producers. Tune in every Friday night at 8:00. LISTEN! Newsletter: hard copy or download? Like most people in this economy, WRVO tries to save money any way we can.

Based in Canastota, Abscope Environmental, Inc. delivers environmental construction services throughout the WRVO service area and beyond. Abscope employs trained construction/environmental professionals in a variety of tasks, including remedial excavation; installation of watertight sheetpiling and vertical barriers; soil or riverbank shoring/stabilization; treatment of soil or groundwater; transport and disposal of hazardous materials; abatement of asbestos and other hazardous materials; tank cleaning, removal, and installation; and utilities installation. Abscope’s services range from simple spill cleanups to complex and sophisticated excavations requiring the application of innovative technologies and skilled teams. Clients include environmental engineering consultant firms, utilities, site owners, attorneys, industry, government entities, and educational institutions. Services are performed within a strict regulatory framework and in accordance with work practices that safeguard employee and community health and safety. Founded in 1989, the firm’s roots go back to 1958, when John Romagnoli and Vito Fusillo started a heavy-construction company focused on transportation. From there, Jack Romagnoli, Jerry Romagnoli, and Doug Fusillo built Abscope into one of the premier environmental remediation construction firms in the Northeast. Abscope has grown to include more than 60 permanent employees, with more than 120 employees on staff during peak construction seasons. The firm has seen increasing profits while broadening its geographic reach into Illinois, Missouri, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. A significant growth driver is Abscope’s work at former manufactured gas plant sites, with a $7 million remediation project that began in 2007 and expanded in 2008. Abscope received national recognition with a 2008 EBJ Business Achievement Award. The Environmental Business Journal awarded Abscope its Silver Medal in the category of remediation contracting. Abscope was recognized for continuing to expand its leadership in environmental remediation construction. Listen!
