Tom “Goz” Goslowski is heading back to Syracuse radio. Cumulus Media announced Monday that he’ll host a new Buffalo Bills program this fall.
What We Know: Bills Gameday With Goz debuts August 15 at 9 a.m. on The Score 1260/WSKO-AM. Goslowski previously hosted The First Quarter morning show at the same station before moving to Albany. There, he became a fixture in Capital Region sports media, working with UAlbany, Siena College, and the Albany Empire. He’s a two-time New York State Broadcasting Award winner and a longtime Heisman Trophy voter. Goslowski was part of iHeartMedia’s round of layoffs earlier this year along with his Fox Sports 980/95.9 co-host Jeff Levack. Goslowski previous served as Program Director of WOFX and WGY/WGY-FM.
What They Said: Rick Roberts, Program Director at The Score 1260: “We’re excited to welcome Goz back to The Score 1260. His football expertise, broadcasting experience, and Central New York roots make him a perfect fit for our lineup and for Bills fans throughout the region.”
Tom Goslowski: “I am thrilled to be back at The Score 1260 and I’m looking forward to talking to Central New York sports fans before and after Bills games this season.”
What Remains Unclear: Cumulus Media didnt’ detail any terms of the show in format, or if it will extend past football season.
What It Means: Cumulus is betting on a hint of nostalgia and regional credibility to drive Bills coverage. Goslowski’s Syracuse roots and Capital Region resume give the station a built-in audience. Meanwhile, the timing positions The Score 1260 ahead of the NFL season kickoff. For Central New York sports radio, familiar voices still carry weight.
