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.

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.

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.

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.

 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.
