Clearing the Static 2309

It's another week of radio news this week.
First, we touch on a few sales, including two that will lead to format changes.
Also, is the coastal Oregon station that had its license canceled returning? Bob thinks someone knows the answer to that.
Then, what's going on at Audacy? We dive into exclusive reporting from Radio Insight, and speculate ourselves.
Then, what is RadioGPT? Find out, and hear our thoughts at the end of this week's program.

Clearing the Static 2308

 We thought it was going to be a quiet week here on CTS this week, but we only had a few minutes to fill this week.

First, Seattle gets a new AAA. What do our hosts think?
Later, a new variety hits station comes to Lincoln, and Civic Media grows again.
