On this addition of CTS, it's a wide variety of topics.
First, SBS has filed comments with the FCC to deny the extension of Cox Radio's divestiture of two stations.
Then, Pennsylvania has a lot of activity in format news.
Last but not least, a public station in California rebrands to avoid confusion with another network in Vermont. This leads to a discussion of how many commercial stations use the same or similar branding.

Sorry this is late, I'm annoyed about it myself as I had plenty of time to get this out and still didn't. Anyway, below is for the website.
