About Lucas

Lucas Day is the News Director for FLX Local Media, where he sets daily coverage across WGVA News Radio, WAUB, WFLR, WCGR, WFLK/K101.7, WLLW/101.7 The Wall, WNYR, and the company's flagship news site, FingerLakesDailyNews.com. He works out of the company's Penn Yan studios and leads a team of reporters covering Yates, Schuyler, Ontario, Seneca, Wayne, and Cayuga counties.

Lucas hosts "Open Mic with Lucas Day" Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8:30 to 9:00 on WFLR (Penn Yan and Dundee), a regular conversation with leaders from non-profits, government, healthcare, and economic development across Yates and Schuyler counties.

He is also the play-by-play announcer on WFLR for Penn Yan Mustangs football, Penn Yan and Dundee/Bradford BraveScots basketball, Mustangs lacrosse, and Mustangs and BraveScots baseball — calling more than fifty regular-season and post-season high school games each year.

His daily reporting focuses on the Yates County courts, municipal meetings, public safety, and the high school athletics calendar — beats he has covered continuously across the FLX cluster since well before the station group's 2026 ownership change.
