Then, Townsquare Media is buying Cherry Creek Media, leading to spinoffs in two markets. Plus, Classic Hits returns to Danbury, and a few other changes happening this week.

Clearing the Static 2212

On this week's show, it's the usual round of format changes, including some possibly coming to Pennsylvania. Among our more unusual stories this week, Allan Burns is bringing the conversational style of radio heard across Canada to this side of the border, but the Radio Kid is skeptical. Why? Also, Amazon has launched a new service called Amp. The kid is also skeptical about how this will impact radio, Bob is excited but has tried it and has found serious issues so far.

Clearing the Static 2210

 It's one of those weeks where we have the perfect amount of news to fit into an hour program. Some highlights are as follows:
A heritage CHR in a small market has gone country, and we think it's a bit odd.
We have audio of a stunt in State College PA. What could this new station be?
Radio One has swapped frequencies at two of its Charlotte stations.
A commercial station is being sold, but no money is directly changing hands. What is instead?

 It's a quiet week this week, so we end up talking about a badly timed break on CNN among other topics at the end of the show. Before we get to that though, we lead off with another update in the Ed Stolz saga, then what other news there is, which includes a change in Fayetteville AR, more public radio changes in Cleveland, and Family Life getting a new signal in Erie. 

Listen

Clearing the Static 2208

 We begin and end in Seattle this week.
First, breaking news, as a change appears on the way to 93.3.
