Clearing the Static 2222

It's a relatively slow week in radio, actually what we'd say is a perfect news week, as we've got enough to fill the hour, but not enough to go over, and not too little that we have to fill time.
First, we thought this saga was over, but it appears Larry Patric has filed a briefing with the court requesting the liquidation of the assets of Royce International.
Then, a couple of developments from the satellites. Later, a new Classic Country station comes to Missouri, with an appropriate name for this weekend. Also, a shocking format change in Oklahoma City, a suspected frequency swap in Fresno, and the area where gold was first discovered gets a new format. All that and more this week.

It's a quiet week this week. We first start out with a pointed commentary by Lance Venta about a station in upstate New York. Then, it's what few format changes there were this week, including a bilingual Classic Hits station in Texas, and an update to 107.9 in Sacramento.

It's a quiet week here at CTS. First, we start in upstate New York, with a couple of developments there. Then, it's a few other developments, including State College, and a judge has ruled on whether or not an owner is still able to hold a license. Finally, we don't have anything else to talk about, so Bob does some real time investigating to find that a station in Oklahoma appears to have gone talk full time, and the Spanish CHR Urbana format appears to be back to 1010 in Portland.

Clearing the Static 2219

It's a bit of a weird week here at CTS, as we're trying to do the show while demonstrating Amazon's new Amp platform. We start out the news by talking about the final outcome of the Cox divestments in Tampa and Orlando. Later, a group of stations in Panama City has been sold for the second time since Hurricane Michael. We end with Saga doing an innovative thing overnights. All that and more this week.

Clearing the Static 2218

It's another week of radio news. Fortunately it's quiet, as we're joined by Jim Pemberton this week. We start with developments in Springfield, where a new Classic Hits station has launched. Then it's on to Duluth, where WDUL has flipped to CHR. This goes off on a tangent of stations not using call letters appropriately. Come on, how can you not resist calling that thing W-Dull? Finally, an HD subchannel has launched with an AAA format in Jacksonville.
