It's another addition of the radio show that talks about radio this
week, and it looks like things are finally slowing down after the
government shutdown backlog.
Among the stories we do have, what's
becoming of 1110 in Charlotte after WBT moves to FM? Also, what's
becoming of 107.9 in Missoula? We don't know the answers to either of
these, but we provide speculation. We do have a number of other sales
and smaller changes to discuss as well.
Wednesday, December 17, 2025
Clearing the Static 2544
This entry is out of sequence because of a cataloging error. Our apologies. Its a Radio Kid solo show this time around. She talks about radio happenings in places like Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Wisconsin, California and Nevada. Plus, it's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas everywhere you go across the country.
Clearing the Static 2431
As has been typical lately, we don't think we have a lot to talk about, but we manage to fill the hour.
First, could more giants be stomping around in Indiana? We think so.
Then, a strange lease in San Diego. Other news includes a sale of a
station in Trenton that we think will go Spanish, a station going from
country to talk, and Calgary gaining an edge. All that and more on this
addition of CTS.
Sunday, December 14, 2025
Clearing the Static 2549
It's a pretty busy week this week, with more sales coming out.
Also, Boost Radio programming comes to Ohio, and not through the company that has been leasing stations to them in the past.
Clearing the Static 2548
It's another sale-heavy week this week.
We do have two stations
potentially changing formats, one in Omaha and one in Albuquerque, but
other than that it's mostly sales, and mostly out of Connoisseur.
Listen
Clearing the Static 2547
It's a very sale-heavy week here at CTS. We're not sure what will lead to changes in most cases, but Connoisseur has been busy, plus a sale in Virginia that was announced months ago has been filed.
Clearing the Static 2546
On what seemed like a quiet week, we actually don't have too much of a problem filling time.
If
there's a theme, it's stations launching that are focusing on streaming
music, from a hip-hop station in Montgomery to TikTok Radio. We also
have a new Urban station in Louisiana, and several other stories this
week.
Clearing the Static 2545
It's an extremely quiet week this week. A frequency swap in Las Vegas this week gets us off on a tangent about Seattle, and a development in public radio in Birmingham gets us off on another tangent about what public radio should do differently.
Clearing the Static 2543
It's another edition of the radio show that talks about radio this
week. Despite it being a quiet week, we manage to fill the time by
talking about public affairs programming, spurred on by the development
that Canada is beginning to issue licenses with open-ended terms.
Before
we get to that though, our top story is an update and discussion on the
sale of Mix 96.1 in the Olympia area. Also, a brand returns to upstate
New York, Spanish Christian comes to an end in Dallas, and more this
week.
Clearing the Static 2542
The biggest story of the week is major sports changes across the state
of Wisconsin, triggered by a flip at 97.3 The Game WRNW in Milwaukee.
Outside
of that, 104.1 Washington DC has a new format, we know what's up with
102.1 in Springfield, and we share some thoughts on a new AI driven
syndication company. Also, we have an update on a public station in
Pennsylvania. All that and more this week.
Clearing the Static 2541
It's another week, and more radio news this week. Among the stories we're following:
The Bonneville cluster in San Francisco has been sold.
We now know what's come to Chico, and neither of us are impressed.
A wave has crashed into Panama City, but it's not a simulcast of a nearby station.
Layoffs happened this week at iHeart.
Clearing the Static 2540
Among the highlights, Connoisseur Media has come out swinging with three new innovative formats. One of those happens to be classic rock, of which three stations launched this week. In other news, we have late breaking developments in the St. Lewis saga of 88.1, K-Love arrives in three markets, and much more this week.
Clearing the Static 2539
There are a lot of changes in the south this week. First, the changes we've been expecting in Panama City are finally happening. Then, we go to Tallahassee, where Adams appears to be making a change. One not in Florida, Bold Gold is buying two stations from Townsquare in New York. That, plus a couple of airchecks to round out the program.
Clearing the Static 2538
It's an extremely quiet week on the program this week, so quiet in fact that we have time for not one, not two, but three airchecks. What little news there is consists of a few station sales, and a format change so insignificant I can't remember what it is as I write this description. You'll just have to tune in and find out what it is I guess.
Clearing the Static 2537
It's another addition of the radio show that talks about radio this
week, and if there's one theme of this show, it's that a lot of loose
ends were tied up this week. Among those are the following:
A couple
weeks ago we told you that Warrior Media was going to revamp its
recently acquired country station in Monroe, La. They did with a shift
to classic country.
Civic Media has acquired and set plans for the remainder of the Milwaukee Radio Alliance.
Classic Rock moves from a translator to a full power signal in Michigan.
We are also starting to see some consequences of the upcoming closure of CPB. All that and more this week.
Clearing the Static 2536
It's another addition of the radio show that talks about radio, and we
surprisingly have a bit of time to fill at the end of this show.
First, hot talk is out in Rochester.
Next,
a few other changes including iHeart loading up on sports in Cleveland,
a new red dirt country station in Texas Hill Country, and Jill rocking
Illinois.

There's not a lot of news this week, but we spend a lot of time on what news there is.
First, Milwaukee Radio Alliance has sold two of its big properties. What will happen with the other brands?
Also, changes are afoot in Panama City.
The last major development comes from north of the border, where a heritage brand has returned.
That, plus there are a few smaller developments.
Clearing the Static 2534
Despite being completely exhausted from a busy vacation, Bob is in the co-host seat this week to discuss a major sale in the Pacific Northwest. The other big story comes out of Florida, where two companies who have defacto control of one another are looking to add more stations. Also, a station cluster in Medford is sold. All that plus a few other random changes this week.
Clearing the Static 2533
It's a slow week in radio this week.
The big story of the week is what's going on with Beasley. Will they be
around in five years? Also, Centennial doubles up in Fredericksburg,
oldies comes to St. George, and lots of sales that resolve long-standing
questions.
Clearing the Static 2532
It's another week of radio news this week.
Among the highlights, oldies expands in Dayton, we know what's going to
happen in Hagerstown, Bill leaves Williamsport, and we discuss the
closing of CPB. All that and more this week.

On this week's show, a breeze blows into Norfolk, changes come across Ontario, and the first flip resulting from a sale in Panama City. All that plus an owner flipping out of a format we never thought they would abandon, and much more this week.

It's an extremely quiet week at CTS this week. Both Portlands make the news, as in Oregon, a sports station comes to FM, while in Maine, a station we talked about shutting down in April before being revived is in fact shutting down again. We also have station sales, and an aircheck to close out the hour.
Clearing the Static 2529
It's another show this week. Of course we talk about the defunding of public broadcasting at the end of this show, but there is some other news to get to. That includes the only Black-owned station in Des Moines going away, and a station in Tennessee shutting down.

The Radio Kid is off this week, so Bob Cavanaugh does a solo show and manages to fill the hour without any problem. Among the highlights, Brighter Media expands in Maryland, two Classic Country stations launch, two stations are sold to different Christian operators, and a saga seems to be brewing in South Florida. All that and more this week.

This week, EMF enters Tampa, betting on "The Game Bet" in Charlotte, Audacy comes to IHeart, and so much more on CTS.

It's another addition of the radio show that talks about radio this week. Among the topics discussed are a confirmation at the FCC, possibly two AAA stations returning, and Magic Broadcasting getting out of the business in Florida. That, plus Hope Media Group acquires 247 Media Ministries, a non-commercial station using a programming service more associated with commercial programming, and a new sports station in Georgia. All that and more this week.

It's another addition of the show this week, and we focus a lot on the northeast this week. First, Forever Media continues its sell-off. Later, we discuss in-depth the changes Townsquare is making in Central New York. Also, Conservative Talk goes away from, then returns to, 1270 in Buffalo.

Since the Radio Kid was out this week and our usual fill-in Jake Longwell is unavailable at the moment, we welcome a new voice to the program, Rick Lewis. After discussing his involvement with radio, we get into some news, including lots of activity in upstate New York, the end of a long-established brand in Las Vegas, and a troubled station in North Carolina is sold again. All this and more this week.
