Because we spent so much time on Seattle developments last week, we have a lot to catch up on this week. Fortunately, we don't have a lot to say about things, but we still didn't get to everything. Among the big stories we did get to, Denver has a Christian hip-hop station, and it is the first commercial one in that format. Also, a buyer has been found for two of the Yaquina Bay stations. Also, there's a new standards gold rush in Anchorage, and Hot in Harrisburg has gone rhythmic. We talk about all that and much more this week.

We talk about what eventually happened this week in South Carolina as Norson Media has taken over operations of WSPA, and we touch on a couple other stories, but we spend the majority of our time talking about the big changes in Seattle this week. On Monday, Hubbard dropped AAA on 98.9 KPNW, but hours later, Lotus dropped Star 101.5 for Hank FM. We unpack just about every angle of that story this week.

Just like last week, we think it's going to be a quiet week, but a tangent fills most of the available time. This week, it's Austin's KASE 101, which after 40 years of branding as such, has gone to actually using its frequency of 100.7. In other news, the biggest story of the week comes out of Audacy, as the company has filed its bankruptcy exit plan with the FCC, revealing it will have to divest one station. Elsewhere, speaking of Audacy, they have turned in two licenses in Las Vegas, and on a completely unrelated note, Saga is selling one in Florida.

First, Audacy has introduced Bella to Portland. Who is Bella? Find out this week.
Next, a new gold-based alternative comes to Lawton, and a few other changes.
Finally, another station has dropped Nash FM, this time for Nash Icon. This leads into a long discussion of what Nash stations are left on both brands, and which ones have either reverted or flipped formats since Cumulus launched the brand in 2013.
