Clearing the Static 2450

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.

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.
