Clearing the Static 1814

We open the program by talking about a failed morning show promotional stunt in San Diego which may very well lead to the end of a Hot Talk/Sports radio station there. Also, could The Loop be returning to Chicago on a full power FM? Later, two more radio companies file for bankruptcy. Town Square buys stations in Trenton, NJ. There's a new Variety Hits station on the air in Vermont. We have further developments regarding last week's news of changes in Little Rock. An "alt war" is brewing in Albany. And could there be a CHR battle heating up in Southern Pennsylvania? That's all on this action packed edition of CTS.
