In 2009, WGR was recognized by the National Association of Broadcasters with the Marconi Award for Sports Radio Station of the year.

Malacaro began working for the Bisons as a bat boy from 1999-2002. He attended the Newhouse School at Syracuse University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Broadcast Journalism in 2005.

Pat was a radio intern for the Bisons during the 2004 and 2005 seasons, which included a Governors' Cup Championship in 2004. He was also a radio host for WERW-AM and a member of the sports talk show staff for WAER-FM during his time at Syracuse University.

McGuire first covered the Herd with International Cable in 1980 and worked alongside Pete Weber on the Cable Sports Network from 1983-84. He also covered games for WKBW-TV from 1986-87. During the 1988-90 seasons, Duke filled in for radio broadcasts on WGR55 before joining the Empire Sports Network in 1991. He served as public address announcer for the Bisons from 1981-1995. Aside from his broadcasting duties, he has been involved with the Bisons youth baseball program for nearly three decades.
