Clearing the Static 2619
It's another week of radio this week. First, Sticks Media is shutting down in Missoula. What went wrong? We don't know. Then, sports comes to Fort Collins, and Conservative talk comes to Arkansas. Also, a couple rebrands across Canada, and more this week.
Clearing the Static 2618
We have just enough news this week to fill the hour. Among the highlights:
Audacy is bringing FM Sports talk to Los Angeles. What will this new station bring programming wise? Nobody knows.
Civic is moving some of its Milwaukee stations into a black-owned community trust.
Curtis Media is expanding to Wilmington, NC.
All that and more this week.
Clearing the Static 2617
t's an extremely quiet week this week. All we have is a new Neon station in Richmond, a few station sales, and possibly one other format change. Also, is iHeart Media for sale? Stay tuned for the end to find out what's making the Radio Kid cringe.
Clearing the Static 2616
It's another week of radio news this week. Our first two stories are international, as we know what's up with the Mexican-licensed 104.3 serving El Passo, and Classic Alternative comes to another Canadian market. Then, a heritage brand returns to Bakersfield, a station in Ohio changes format again, and more
Clearing the Static 2615
It's another addition of the show this week, and we're both back to our normal selves. Among the things we talk about this week, Salem is turning in an AM in Dallas, and several other AM stations around the country have gone silent this week. Also, Dick Broadcasting returns rock to New Burn as it exits Spanish programming entirely. Also, a station sale leads to a shuffle in Fort Smith, AR, and what's next in Hagerstown?
Clearing the Static 2614
Neither of us are at the top of our game this week, with Bob being a bit under the weather and the Radio Kid being absolutely exhausted. Still, we have a show, with Connoisseur making news by buying in Lincoln, selling in Topeka, and shutting down stations in Iowa. Also, what's going on with Radio One in Charlotte? That, plus other changes this week.
Clearing the Static 2613
Connoisseur is making a lot of news this week. First, they've launched a new 90s and 2000s station in Chicago's suburbs. Also, they've sold another cluster, this time continuing the trend of selling to local management. In other news, GI Family Radio has made a move in Nebraska, and a country move in Canada. We spend almost the last half of the show talking about Delilah.
Clearing the Static 2612
It's another week of the show that talks about radio. On this week's show, we have two big stories. First, NRG Media exits Wisconsin, with the sale of two clusters to Midwest. In one of those markets, this will require a significant waiver. The other big story is the impending shutdown of CBS News Radio. Also, Route 24 Radio has come to FM in Illinois, and a new bubble pops into Columbia, SC. All that and more this week.

Clearing the Static 2611
It's a sale-heavy week this week, as we have two weeks worth of station sales to cover, plus Hall selling its Providence cluster. Also, what is to become of Portland's 860? That, plus the usual other news this week.
Clearing the Static 2610
It's actually a jam-packed week at the program. Our top story this week is the bankruptcy of Cumulus. They have surrendered a few of the stations they took off the air a year ago, while two of them have returned to the air, and we go through the list of stations whose status is unknown at this point. Elsewhere, it's a heavy shutdown week, as several other stations have shut down, and in one case that has lead to a format shuffle. We do also have a couple of the usual format changes as well.
Clearing the Static 2609
Our top story this week comes out of Buffalo, where BTPM is doing something innovative with 94.5. In other news, Omaha has gone from three sports stations to one, and we touch on some potential changes at Civic Media. Also, could Galaxy be no more soon? All that and more this week.
Clearing the Static 2608
It's another show this week. The big news of the week is that the first of likely many changes have taken place in Fort Meyers after the closing of the sale of the Beasley stations there. Other changes include the extension of the WGR brand to Rochester, and two actions out of the FCC, one approving a sale in West Palm Beach, and the other regarding a noncommercial translator window. All that and more this week.
Clearing the Static 2607
It's a quiet week this week. Among the stories we have:
Jake's prediction in Buffalo seems to finally be coming true
An AM in Myrtle Beach is likely dead
Sports coming to FM in Tampa
A new conservative talk station in Lubbak.
All that and more this week.
