WSKO (1260 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Syracuse, New York. It has a sports radio format and is owned by Cumulus Media with studios on James Street. "The Score" is the flagship station for all Syracuse Mets baseball games.[2] In addition to carrying the Infinity Sports Network, a local program is heard in late mornings, The Manchild Show with Jim Lurch and Paul Esden.
By day, WSKO’s power is 5,000 watts non-directional. At night, to protect other stations on 1260 kHz from interference, it switches to a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter is on Andrews Road in DeWitt, near Interstate 481.[3]
