Clearing the Static 1825
Some technical issues were abound at Jake Longwell's studio this past weekend. As such, it's another Radio Kid solo show. All kinds of radio format changes and station sales from all across the US. Plus, some brief thoughts on a very serious piece of legislation that could make life even more difficult for potential pirate radio operators. That's all on this edition of Clearing the Static.

Clearing the Static 1824
This week, we spend most of the hour discussing the latest proposal submitted to the FCC by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) concerning radio ownership deregulation. Needless to say, it's not good. We discuss and debate the possible impact if this thing goes through. Also, some changes are in the works in Oswego County, New York, but don't look for a new local radio station serving the county anytime soon. We'll tell you why. That's all on this edition of CTS.
