To me it's Orr-range, but I know many pronounce it Ahh-range. Is that an upstate vs downstate thing. Watching Marrone in his Facebook video, he kind of had a hybrid pronunciation.
 
Orr-range as in "home on the range"? Never heard it like that.

Or-inge is how I pronounce it.
 
Anyone that does not pronounce it. ORR-INJ is not from central new york. They are either from boston or nyc...and in that case their opinion means nothing at all.
 
I pronounce it Orange.

My wife from long island has assured me that it is most definitely pronounced ah-rinj. The knock knock joke "orange you glad I didn't say banana" simply loses all effect with the ore-rinj pronunciation. I never knew I pronounced orange wrong til I met her.

I think it may be acceptable to pronounce it the Long Island way only on September 19th - "Talk Like a Pirate Day" -- Arrrrr-inj.

I pronounce it Orr-inj and I was born outside of Boston and brought up in the suburbs of NYC. I did, however, go to SU for grad school so maybe it rubbed off while I was there.
