Clearing the Static 2310

Well, we thought it was a quiet week in radio this week, but we didn't have to fill any time, so there must have been a lot going on.
It's a week of updates this week, as Audacy has sold its Palm Springs station, one of the stations in State College has found a new operator, and an update in the saga of the radio owner everyone loves to hate. All that, plus a few format changes are discussed this week.

Clearing the Static 2309

It's another week of radio news this week.
First, we touch on a few sales, including two that will lead to format changes.
Also, is the coastal Oregon station that had its license canceled returning? Bob thinks someone knows the answer to that.
Then, what's going on at Audacy? We dive into exclusive reporting from Radio Insight, and speculate ourselves.
Then, what is RadioGPT? Find out, and hear our thoughts at the end of this week's program.

Radio Serena Show 317

 It's an unusual show this week as we present Mardi Gras and Lent on the radio. The first half of this week's show features Cajun and Brass band music in honor of Mardi Gras. Then, we slow it down a bit for those who celebrate Lent by featuring instrumental hymns, and Gregorian Chant. It's Mardi Gras and Lent on your radio this week from the 90's, Oldies, and a whole lot more -- Radio Serena!
