In all honesty, I don't mind watching my kids' movies with them.  Some of the more recent animated films have been pretty good.  Earlier this week, the media went crazy over a line said by Tom Hanks about Pixar coming out with a Toy Story 4.    But dont' get too excited animated film fans...

Jason Aldean is coming to Western New York at Darien Lake on August 25, and it looks like he'll be bringing some brand-new music with him.  The new CD is set to come out this fall, and we got a sneak peek at the first single today. Listen to it here!

Who can pass up on a good barbecue? Not I! I’m not talking typical hot dogs-and-chicken cookouts -- I’m talking real-deal barbecue like pulled pork, brisket, ribs, Cornish hen, etc.  With the Taste Of Country BBQ less than a week away (this Saturday, July 21), I wanted to see which of the popular barbecued foods our listeners like the most.

Monday was a good day for a bunch of country music fans that work here at WYRK. New music rolled in … Zac Brown Band’s Uncaged (see Brett Alan’s post) and also the new radio single from Tim McGraw called, “Truck Yeah.” Let me tell you, Tim is ready to go for this summer. There are two songs that have been getting great reaction at some of his latest shows and those are “Mexicoma” and “Truck Yeah.”

The Summer Olympics in London are right around the corner, and many people are psyched to see how America will fare this year. According to the website Suddenlinkfyi.com, the most popular events that most people tune in for are 1. Gymnastics, 2. Track & Field and 3. Swimming/Diving.

Temps are expected to get close to 90 this weekend.  In Buffalo, that's hot weather.  Luckily for us, there are a lot of ways to stay cool when the mercury rises.  What is your favorite way to stay cool?

Summertime and grilling go hand in hand.  Who doesn't love a good burger or slab of steak on the grill?  How about some ribs or chicken?  Mmm....gettin hungry now and all I have is sunflower seeds :(   Along with your burger or dog, which side dishes are a "MUST" at your family's 4th of July cookout?  Is it the corn on the cob, the watermelon.....maybe it's your aunt's baked beans!  Acco

For the past 10 days, we asked listeners to send us videos of themselves waking up their friends and family to win tickets for and a backstage experience at the Rascal Flatts show at Darien Lake next weekend. We call it the "Come Wake Me Up" contest, and now is your chance to help pick the winner!

Taking the ride to and from work isn't always the most pleasurable experience.  Many times you are stuck in delays or made to reroute yourself due to an accident.  In those times, do you remain calm or does "road rage" set in?  What other annoyances do you encounter when you get behind the wheel?  Is it that guy bumping his loud "beats" as you pull up next to him at a traffic l

How do you gauge your success?  Is it the amount of education you've had?  Is it the amount of money you have?  According to a new CareerBuilder poll, most Americans do NOT equate a big paycheck with success.  That kind of surprises me because it seems like everyone is always chasing the dollar.  Maybe the people in this poll don't make much money and just wanted to make themselves feel better.  L

Are you worried about your safety when coming into downtown Buffalo?  For many, the fear is real, and because of that, they avoid coming downtown or other places in the city. I, for one, come downtown at 3:30 a.m. each weekday morning, and I'll be honest: I'm always prepared and always alert in case trouble may arise.  There is somewhat of a police presence, but that doesn't give much sense of sec

The "Star Spangled Banner", our country's national anthem.  Penned by Francis Scott Key back in 1812 during the War of 1812.  It's a beautiful song which has been sung by many, perfected by a few (of course, Whitney Houston) and butchered by a handful (namely, Roseanne Barr).  For me,  the "Star Spangled Banner" and "America The Beautiful" are the two best patriotic s
