Sorry this is late. When we do the show on Friday it throws things off.
This week, we finish up our roundup of post-Christmas format changes. Among them, a new trend of yacht rock stations seem to be emerging, as we have talked about three on the program since the holidays. Other than that, we have a station in Kansas shutting down after a tower collapse, and a few more items to get to this week.
