Clearing the Static 2318

It's a quiet week in radio again this week, but we still manage to fill the entire hour.
First, Seven Mountains is engaging in some creative marketing. Before we get to that story, we have several that neither of our hosts have any thoughts on. Later, the dominoes are falling in Memphis.
Finally, what does the demise of Heardle have to do with radio, at least according to one writer? We also talk about what initially appeared to be a badly done promotion by Audacy Portland. It turns out that my dad actually got a call back from the cluster confirming the address of the event, which was at the beginning of the add.

Clearing the Static 2317

It's a quiet week this week, so we talk about some things we wouldn't normally. First though, EMF grows again, a random sale that got missed from several weeks ago, a sale withdrawal, and more news regarding AI. 

Listen

Clearing the Static 2316

It's another jam-packed show this week. We begin wit a slight tweak in Rochester, then analise more of the fallout from last week's announcement about Audacy selling its two stations to EMF. What they're doing does not make sense to either host. Later, why does a format change in Wenatchee send both hosts into a fit of laughter? We also have some sales from which we have no idea what to expect, and a big one in Houston which will see a new minority owner enter the market. 

Listen

Clearing the Static 2315

It's another addition of the show this week. We start with the story that came out late Friday afternoon, as Audacy sells two stations to EMF. Why does this not make sense? Later, it's the usual round of format changes including a rebrand in Pennsylvania that we're not all that impressed with.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2314

It's a very quiet week here on CTS. First, a station on Long Island has been sold. Next, we rebrand in Portland ME. Later, what could a video store, a trampoline park, and a Cumulus brand soon have in common? Then, a new player in the AI space has emerged. That, and two Hawaii AM stations have been restored.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2313

It's another addition of the radio show this week. We start with two upstate New York developments. First, Tower Broadcasting is selling the majority of its properties. Will the two that remain be next? Also, Pamel makes a move that the Radio Kid has strong feelings about. Later, Seven Mountains is making some changes in Altuna, and a timeshare agreement is coming to an end in Phoenix. We end with a breaking story, as the Classic Hits station in Eugene is no more, replaced with rhythmic throwbacks. Bob doesn't think this is a smart move.

Clearing the Static 2312

Join The Radio Kid and Jim Pemberton for another edition of CTS.
Stories include:
Several Christian radio sales -- both in MO and KY.
And, we know now what is on 102.7 WLYK Cape Vincent, NY now that they've taken down "The Pole." Bring your swim suit!

Listen

Clearing the Static 2311

It's another addition of the radio show that talks about radio this week. First, an update in the saga of the radio owner that everyone loves to hate. Later, an expected format change in Palm Springs, a pending change in upstate New York, one of Bob's favorite stations in SC moves to a new frequency, and Bigfoot gets an upgrade in PA. All that and more this week.
