Clearing the Static 2139

It looked like this week would be quiet, but then an explosion of stories hit at the last minute. We start with a large round of layoffs, this time at Cox. Then, the sale of the two stations serving as Montreal rimshots is about to close, leading to a format move of one of the brands. Also, a small station in western New York has been sold. What will happen to it? Then, it's the usual round of format changes. This week, that includes iHeart completing its shuffle of stations in Panama City, a shift from mostly to completely national sports programming in Miami, and Townsquare trying country for the fourth time on a signal in Iowa, leading to iHeart filling a hole. That, and Cox has made a change in Miami, and Univision is making a change in Houston.

Radio Serena Show 238: The Challenge, Part 1

Welcome back in time! This week on the program, it's show 1 of a 2 part, 2 person challenge.
At the beginning of the month, Jim Pemberton of Springfield Community Radio issued a challenge to me -- if I do a 70's show, he would do a 90's show. This is because, generally, I don't like 70's music, and MR. Pemberton doesn't generally like 90's music. The basic rules were simple: The music had to be songs from said decade we actually liked.
So, here is the result of my acceptance of the challenge this week, as Radio Serena goes back to the 70's!
Song 1. Painted Ladies - Ian Thomas
Song 2. 2 divided by love – The Grass Roots
Song 3. Dancing In The Moonlight – King Harvest
Song 4. Yesterday Once More – The Carpenters
Song 5. It’s Too Late – Carole King
Song 6. If I can’t have you - Yvonne Elliman
Song 7. Dreams – Fleetwood Mac
Song 8. Baby Blue - Badfinger
Song 9. Jet – Paul McCartney and Wings
Song 10. Go All The Way - Raspberries
Song 11. Fox on the run – The Sweet
Song 12. Shambala – 3 Dog Night
Song 13. Telephone Line - ELO

Clearing the Static 2135

Sorry this is late, today got away from me. Anyway, on this addition of CTS, one of the final pieces of the Seven Mountains Family Life Sound deal has fallen into place, as 820 WPGO has a buyer. Elsewhere, is a rock format coming to Fort Walton Beach? Odds are good. Since the news cycle is lite this week, we finish the program talking about some developments concerning high school radio in the Seattle area. 

Listen

Clearing the Static 2134

On this week's Clearing the Static, we finish our auction roundup we started last week. Then, it's onto the news, what little of it there was. Can Oklahoma City support six sports stations? How many conservative talk stations can St. Lewis handle? All that and more on this week's CTS.
