Clearing the Static 2217

We seem to get off on a lot of tangents on this program. First, it's time zones, as the Radio Kid wants to know what Bob wakes up to, but set her alarm for 4:00 A.M. Pacific instead of 7:00. That came about after Bob's alarm went off annoyingly. Next, a station that had just returned to the air six weeks earlier has surrendered its license. Then, an Adult CHR has come to an area along the New York Pennsylvania line. Later, we get on a tangent about HD Radio, as a Spanish language operator with existing stations in Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati is coming to Pittsburgh via an HD2. All that and more this week.

Clearing the Static 2216

On this week's show, we start out with two developments in Washington state. Then, the usual round of format changes, including an AM to translator operator expanding Jack into another Pennsylvania market, another Bob launch, and more.

Clearing the Static 2215

This week, we start with some developments as of a couple weeks ago, as two stations are still running Christmas music at the end of March. Then, we return to the story we left off with last week, as Horizon Broadcasting is making changes in Bend. Then, we have an update on the state of Country music in San Jose. Also, a station in Scranton has come full circle. Will its next move be Classic Hits? That would repeat its format progression from 2005-2008. Also, after expanding into Texas last week, 247 Ministries is growing in the Pacific Northwest again. All that and more on this week's show.
