Thanks for visiting our website!

The Canandaigua National Bank High School Sports Show, which started in 2003 on WHTK-AM, is the only radio talk show in the Rochester area that covers Section V sports. It features interviews with coaches and players from across Section V, previews and highlights the biggest games each season and honors "Athletes of the Week." It also tackles the issues facing teenage athletes today, such as proper nutrition and recovery from injury and how to balance academics and athletics.

Over the past five years, approximately 1,000 coaches and athletes have been interviewed on the CNB High School Sports Show. A special thanks goes to Canandaigua National Bank & Trust. Without its continued support, area athletes and coaches wouldn't have a chance to be showcased on the radio.
