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.

Clearing the Static 2445

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.

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.
