On this adition of Clearing The Static, Jake and The Radio Kid discuss
ownership deregulation, and how the industry might not be speaking
with one voice. Also, Sirius/XM announces it's intentions to buy
Pandora. What does that mean for the radio space? Neilson goes to
monthly reporting in diary markets. Plus, an translator in Elmira at
102.9 with an Urban format gets objections from a long-established
Christian station in Syracuse at 102.9. Thing is... this translator
has been on the air since 1995 without a complaint until now. All
this and more on this week's CTS.

or download this week's CTS... because we know you'd rather listen
than read anyway.

Clearing THe Static 137
Issues discussed on the program this week include:
1. A radio station owner in Arizona has requested to turn off his AM
1470 KVSL in Sholo, and allow it's FM translator to become the primary
station for a testing periond of 1 year. Will this open the doors to
more applications like this, and ussher in the end of AM radio? We
discuss.
2. A sports station in Jacksonville, FL changes it's name.
3. The "Streetz" have been rolled up in Little Rock, AR, and fans of
Gospel can "Rejoice", as Salem takes back control of KXDE (101.3.)
4. Call animal control in Denver -- "The Wolf" is dead, and KWOF
(92.5) is flying to a new "Altitude." This, plus the fact that it's
sister station, 950 KKSE is airing ESPN around the clock makes 6
sports station in the mile high city.
5. Cumulus is selling their cluster in Blaxburg, VA to monticello media.
6. There's a new "Wave" in Norfolk, VA, as WVBW (92.9) segs from AC

7. Yo! There's a new sound in West Palm Beach, FL, as Classic Hiphop
debuts on an Hd to translator station -- giving the area an
interesting flanker between 2 competing stations in the market.
8. Cannonball! A new Variety Hits station splashes into Pocotello,
ID, replacing the Mormon music "Sunny" format there. This station has
an interesting approach to jocks, as well.

Minnesota.
10. CBS Sports Radio launches in Waco, TX on an HD to translator station.
11. KQSF, "Q95.7" in Sue Falls, SD, ditches Classic Hits for CHR.
Why did they do this? It has to do with ratings.
