Radio Serena Show 468
Clearing the Static 2602
Sorry this is late. When we do the show on Friday it throws things off.
This
week, we finish up our roundup of post-Christmas format changes. Among
them, a new trend of yacht rock stations seem to be emerging, as we have
talked about three on the program since the holidays. Other than that,
we have a station in Kansas shutting down after a tower collapse, and a
few more items to get to this week.

It's the first show of the year, and that usually means post-Christmas format changes. We have some interesting ones this year, including two yacht rock stations, the Classic Hits hole in Grand Rapids being filled, and Soft AC returning to Salt Lake. All that and more on the first show of 2026.
