Clearing the Static 1641
We open by addressing a question from our colleague, Spencer Morton, about the Orlando radio market. That leads to a bigger discussion about syndicated music programs today, and how they are packaged. Then, we lament the sale of a favorite radio station in Southern Ontario, as we fear the long established format of the station will now be changed. Later on, Jake and The Radio Kid both conduct live demonstrations of their local AM reception, to prove the point that the band is unusable in many areas, which needs to be addressed before we can talk about saving it. Also, could the Classic Hip Hop format be a fad format, after all? And, let the fun begin. Christmas music is already starting to appear on the radio in early October! We'll tell you where. It's all ahead on this edition of CTS.

CTS Extra 43: Jake Longwell's Shows
So you've heard the interview I did with Jake Longwell, right? If not,
what are you waiting for? Leave this page, and go listen to CTS Extra
42, and then please come back! As for the rest of you, we are going to
give you a small sample of what Jake Longwell's shows sound like, and
the types of music he plays on his shows. Produced under the Quality
Radio Productions banner, these shows began in 2009, and are heard on
college and community stations around the US. I will give my opinions
and assessments of each of the shows. First, we'll listen to the Jazz
Scene -- a show focusing on traditional straight ahead Jazz, before
progressing to Jazz Progressions, a show dedicated to Jazz Rock Fusion
and Avant-gard styles of Jazz. We'll stop next at Lake Air to hear
some Smooth Jazz and other contemporary music. We must ask, however, is
it really a lake? Next, we'll stop and listen to Sounds from the
Global Village, a program of world music, and hear about music from
other lands we aren't usually exposed to in America. We'll listen next
to Classics and Beyond, a Classical music showcase, before enjoying some
Old Time Radio in the Upstate Radio Theatre. If you've been wondering
what Jake Longwell is up to at Quality Radio Productions, here's your
chance to find out. When you are done listening to this extra, please

Clearing the Static 1639
Plenty to talk about this week. We have developments from the Catskill region of NY, and Jake laments a new translator on the air in the Finger Lakes. Also, a new HD to translator format is coming to Springfield, Illinois, though we don't yet know what it will be. We address the question of why we "gripe" so much on this program. Later, we discuss the impending sale of WILD in Boston to a Chinese language operator. Finally, some interesting developments in Myrtle Beach, as Colonial Broadcasting prepares to expand its cluster there. It's all ahead on this episode of CTS.
