There's one thing that all the format changes this week have in common, and that is that they all take place in warm climates. First, we go to West Palm Beach for a station dropping Spanish for English Christmas music, then it's to Hawaii for six flips, a rebrand in Bakersfield, and a flip in Phoenix.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2449

It's a quiet week this week. The big story is that horror author Steven King is shutting down his three radio stations in Maine. We also have a few sales to cover, but then we discuss the cuts at Cumulus, which leads into a broader discussion of the state of the industry.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2448

For the first time in a while, we're actually at a loss for topics to talk about towards the end of the program. Before that happens though, we do have a few stories to get to, including the AC hole in Greenville Spartanburg likely being filled after Christmas, a big deal in West Virginia that probably won't see many changes, and a buyer for two of the Jam Media Solutions stations in North Carolina's Outer Banks.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2447

We start out with some news from last week, including the conservative talk format of KSFO moving to KGO. Also in this week's news, EMF continues to expand with the purchase of a station in Burlington, VT and another from the Woodward Midwest deal. Those are the big stories, but there's lots more covered this week.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2446

It's another show this week.
We start out with a couple of developments in upstate New York, including a strange development involving two stations being acquired, threatened with closure, then getting at least temporary new life.
Next, a major ownership shakeup is coming to Springfield, IL. That, plus hip-hop is coming to Scranton, and a few other changes this week.

We start this week's show with major cuts across the industry, particularly at iHeart Media. Then, 100.3 in New Orleans has hit the streets, and a new wolf has entered Providence. Also, EMF continues to grow, two Christian operators in Ohio merge, and a station in Texas has ceased operations. All that and more this week.

Listen

Clearing the Static Show 2444

t's another addition of CTS this week. Among the stories covered this week, Media Co has launched a pair of Spanish language HD channels in New York. This leads to more speculation about the future of 98.7. In other Spanish news, could 93.3 Austin be in for another format change? We think so, as Waterloo Media has launched its version of the rapidly growing bilingual AC format on the 97.1 translator that had been doing Spanish CHR. We expect this format will soon be upgraded to 93.3. Also, Cumulus has eliminated two of its 24 hour formats distributed by Westwood1, leading to a change in Erie. We also go over the list of seasonal channels on the satellites. All that and more comes your way this week.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2443

This time around, The Radio Kid flies solo for this edition of Clearing the Static.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2442

Once again Bob and The Radio Kid get together to discuss the latest radio industry happenings on Clearing the Static.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2441

There's a lot to catch up on this week, as we didn't get to a lot of news last week. Among the highlights, The Oasis has returned to Cincinnati, Seven Mountains and Commonwealth Broadcasting are swapping stations in Kentucky, and what leads us on a mini tangent about the end of the world is that Family Radio is entering Nashville. There are also several other changes you need to listen to the program to find out about.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2440

There's a lot to break down on this program. We start by covering some of the radio impacts from the storm that hit the southeast last week. Then, the FCC has finally approved Audacy's bankruptcy restructuring plan. That leads to some pointed commentary from well respected industry vet Scott Fybush, and some equally pointed criticism from the Radio Kid. We then do get to some of the other happenings this week.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2439

 It's a quiet week in radio, but we still manage to only have six minutes to fill at the end of the program.
First, a brilliantly executed afternoon show announcement in Greenville, SC.
Later, three Canadian stations we thought were shutting down have found buyers.
Also, Peoria, Illinois has hit shuffle. All that and more this week.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2438

 After catching up on a couple stories from last week, we cover a few changes this week, including Hot AC gone for talk in Ohio, two Oregon stations have returned to the air after bankruptcy, and we discuss HD Radio, particularly when it comes to Audacy. All that and more this week.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2437

 This week, we finish up with some news from last week, including two Iowa stations that have new owners. Later, Magnum has a new classic country outlet in Wisconsin, Loud Media is making some changes in upstate New York, and Burlington, Vermont may be in for some changes. Also, Bloomberg is ending its LMA of 960 KNEW in San Francisco, what will become of that station? Other developments covered this week include a country expansion in New Hampshire, and some other sales.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2436

We spend a lot of time on the east coast this week. Among the changes we discuss are the following:
We now know what's on 98.7 in New York. Also, could a flip of a long running rock station to a news simulcast have been prompted by the demise of WCBS? Later, it's off to Florida where a new rock station has launched, and later Portland's Bella has a little sister in Seattle.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2435

We actually have time to give WCBS a fair sendoff on this week's show, as we have some remaining time. Before that though, Salem continues to sell stations, one of which will result in a new sports, talk, and rock format. Also, a couple changes are taking place in Canada, as Chorus is shutting down an AM, and a new country station is coming to Toronto. That, plus some last minute changes in Austin, and much more on this week's program.

We touch on some news from last week -- including the shutdown of CHML in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, but also the hope that may lie in a pair of stations there which are being relaunched by a new owner. Turing to this week's news: Both "Rock 92.9"'s in Boston, MA, and Raleigh, NC, are moving off their 92.9 spots on their respective dials. Cromwell is adding a third Sports brand in Nahsville, TN. And, we've got station sales, station sales, and even more station sales! It's all here on this week's edition of Clearing The Static -- the radio show that talks about radio!

Once again, we think it's going to be a quiet week, yet we can't get through the station sales.
Before we get there though, Jack has become Bob in Fayetteville NC, a sports network change in Harrisburg, and Salem continues selling assets with the sale of its Fish in Little Rock. This leads to speculation about some of the other stations, including Portland. Also, a big change is coming to Kansas City that neither of us were expecting.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2431

As has been typical lately, we don't think we have a lot to talk about, but we manage to fill the hour.
First, could more giants be stomping around in Indiana? We think so. Then, a strange lease in San Diego. Other news includes a sale of a station in Trenton that we think will go Spanish, a station going from country to talk, and Calgary gaining an edge. All that and more on this addition of CTS.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2430

It's a busier week than it has been here on CTS, but we still manage to get through all the news that exists.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2427

We've been saying it's a quiet week in radio for the past several weeks because it sure feels like it has been, yet we manage to fill an hour. This week, we have lots of sales, including a few we didn't get to from last week, an not many format changes. What format changes we do have include KMXP in Phoenix making a musical shift, and 107.9 in Champaign-Urbanna going Country. Also, we thought we had lost another student station, this time in the Pacific Northwest, but the station engineer debunked that speculation.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2426

It's a relatively quiet week in radio this week, though the flip of a recently acquired station leads to a side tangent about harder Vs. softer Alternative. Later, Seven Mountains is shaking things up in another of its markets, Chorus ends programming on two AM stations, a station in St. Lewis will switch from local to network programming until it is sold, and we do not agree with what just happened in Tulsa. All that and more this week.

Somehow for the last few months we think things are quiet, but then we fill almost the entire hour. This time, we do have a bit of time to present an aircheck that Bob received in a trade recently of KJR-FM from October 2002. Before that, Norson Media has announced what it is doing with its Austin stations. Also, a new Urban Alternative has launched in Kentucky. Also, the social AC Now format is gone from 102.7, replaced by the frequency's former Peak Alternative format.

 What has become typical about the industry over the last month or so is that when we talk on Wednesday or even right up to production time is that we feel like we're going to have time to fill, then we get to the end of our news cycle and we only have a few minutes left. This week is no exception, as we have just the right amount of news to fill the hour. We read some names affected by Beasley's layoffs a couple weeks ago at the end of the program, but first a new Classic Hits station comes to Missouri, Alpha makes major cuts in small Midwestern markets, a troubled Birmingham station is sold, and there's way too much coast in New Jersey. All that and more this week.

 First off, I apologize for the fact that we appear to be talking all over each other in this week's show. The platform we use records each person's audio separately, but for some reason, the Radio Kid's audio didn't upload right away, and there are some gaps in her audio. Nevertheless we do have some stuff to talk about, including Townsquare selling three stations in upstate New York, WWFW shifting from variety hits to classic hits, and cuts at Alpha Media Chicago that could lead to a format change. All that and more this week.

Listen

Clearing the Static 2419

We have just enough news this week that we only have time to briefly touch on the layoffs that happened at multiple companies this week. Elswhere, Lotus has launched another Hank, a contemporary worship station comes to North Carolina, and two classic hip-hop icons come to rural Illinois. All that and much much more this week.

Because we spent so much time on Seattle developments last week, we have a lot to catch up on this week. Fortunately, we don't have a lot to say about things, but we still didn't get to everything.

Also, there's a new standards gold rush in Anchorage, and Hot in Harrisburg has gone rhythmic. We talk about all that and much more this week.

Just like last week, we think it's going to be a quiet week, but a tangent fills most of the available time. This week, it's Austin's KASE 101, which after 40 years of branding as such, has gone to actually using its frequency of 100.7. In other news, the biggest story of the week comes out of Audacy, as the company has filed its bankruptcy exit plan with the FCC, revealing it will have to divest one station. Elsewhere, speaking of Audacy, they have turned in two licenses in Las Vegas, and on a completely unrelated note, Saga is selling one in Florida.
