From Radio Insight:
With Hurricane Milton on a path towards the west coast of Florida and projected to make landfall on Wednesday as at least a Category 3 storm, Beasley Media Group is making preparations at its Fort Myers and Tampa Bay clusters.
All stations in both markets have begun hourly storm updates, which will increase to twice per hour until wall-to-wall coverage takes over 24 hours before landfall. The company has partnerships with Scripps’ “ABC Action News” WFTS-TV Tampa and Hearst’s “NBC 2” WBBH-TV and “ABC 7” WZVN-TV Fort Myers which will be used to “enhance storm coverage”. The company is also suspending all syndicated programming during the storm to prioritize local storm coverage.
Beasley’s digital team is placing dedicated “Storm Central” section on the station websites, offering timely updates, which will also be shared across social media platforms. It will also use Quu’s dashboard technology to deliver special messaging featuring storm warnings.
Should there be widespread flooding, evacuations, or power/internet outages, Tampa will rely on “Q105” WRBQ afternoon host Geno Knight, who is based at the company’s Boston studios to continue coverage.

From Radio Insight:
In a late weekend shocker, BJ Shea has announced his exit from mornings at iHeartMedia Classic Rock 102.5 KZOK Seattle after just nine months.
Shea shared a brief statement on social media simply stating, “Hey all, just wanted to let you know that I am no longer on KZOK. I can?t comment any further at this time? Stay tuned.”
Shea joined KZOK in January following his exit from Audacy Rock 99.9 KISW at the end of 2023. He has been a stalwart in the Seattle market since 1999 when he joined then Hot Talk ?100.7 The Buzz? KQBZ before being fired and rehired the following year. Following the demise of KQBZ at the end 2005, Shea moved to mornings at KISW in January 2006 where he remained until last year. He immediately jumped to KZOK to join incumbent co-host Sarah Schiller following the retirement of Danny Bonaduce. Shea began his career at multiple stations in the Boston area before joining Brother Wease?s Show at WCMF Rochester NY. He would depart in 1992 for stints at KRQR San Francisco, WIVY Jacksonville, and KZZP Phoenix before returning to WCMF as afternoon host in 1997.
This story will be updated with more information when available.

From Radio Insight:
The first thing I heard when I turned on iHeart?s WKSF (99.9 Kiss Country) Asheville, N.C., on Wednesday morning concerned the goats. The caller raised goats for petting zoos and to take to nursing homes. The goats were unhappy about being inside, especially because she hadn?t bought enough diapers before Hurricane Helene. Another caller agreed to host the goats for a while, but only after it was established that they wouldn?t need an electric fence.*
On Wednesday morning, iHeart Asheville was being hosted by WKSF?s Eddie Foxx along with Mark Starling and Tank Spencer from N/T sister WWNC. The broadcast was being heard throughout the seven-station cluster.*
Like many of the callers that morning, this one told the team, ?If it wasn?t for you guys, nobody would know anything.? Like many of the callers that morning, her voice started to break as she told listeners, ?We are going to be OK.? ?There?s no other choice,? said one of the hosts. ?You know it?s OK not to be OK now,? they told another caller.
The news followed. FEMA rescue teams had helped rescue 500 so far, but also continued to identify fatalities, such as the family that made it to their roof, only to have the house collapse. President Biden was arriving in Western North Carolina. Elon Musk was sending Starlink devices throughout the area. Motel owners talked about the damage to their properties room by room and the catastrophe of losing foliage season.
Most of the calls were about connecting people with supplies, meals, and services. An EMT for the Buncombe County Rescue Squad encouraged listeners to request wellness checks via its website. Troyers Amish Store in Fairview had chargers available. ?If you?re going to one of these places, try to be neighborly,? the team told listeners. They were headed out to help deliver supplies after the shift, adding, ?If you see us, don?t be afraid to ask for a hug.?
WUSY (US101) Chattanooga, Tenn., PD Justin Cole called in. He was Foxx?s former morning producer and stuntman. Cole had just established his own mom?s safety, having been called from a National Guard aid station. US101 was doing a relief drive from three locations, and Foxx allowed how weird it felt after years of such events for his town to be the one in need of help.
A listener called to talk about all the offers of help she had received. ?We are loved from across the country,? she told the team. ?We are not alone.? Before the morning team left, they introduced Episcopal bishop Jose McLachlan, who had called to offer prayers before, and was now going to end the show each morning, He offered prayers for first responders and for the departed, including ?those we do not know by name.?
On noncommercial Triple-A WNCW, midday host Martin Anderson had a suggestion I hadn?t yet encountered elsewhere. Listeners who had the ability to leave the area should consider doing so, rather than taxing resources for those who could not, or at least consider going to a shelter. ?Don?t be overly brave,? he said.
On WNCW?s local news, one of the lead stories was about Asheville?s Mission Hospital, where 20 water tankers were now arriving daily, along with 100 medical personnel coming from sister hospitals. Until now, Mission had been forced to send its instruments to Charlotte for sterilization.
Some of the information being shared on WNCW was for benefit concerts. The station?s own fundraiser was supposed to be taking place now; instead, listeners were being asked to donate to emergency relief. WNCW was playing music Wednesday morning. Many of the songs were from local musicians, many of whose own safety had just been established. Some of the songs were mountain themed; a few were aspirational about better times ahead, including a version of Robert Earl Keen?s ?Feeling Good Again? recorded at WNCW.
That afternoon, when I turned into Saga?s Classic Rock WTMT (The Mountain), the first thing I heard was a press briefing from Asheville?s city manager, Debra Campbell. Questions included how much water the city had (enough to get through Friday at the moment) and whether, that being the case, she would encourage people to leave if they could. ?That?s totally a personal decision that a family has to make on its own,? she said.*
The afternoon team I heard was also taken from stations around the cluster: the Mountain?s Skip Richards joined by WOXL (Mix 96.5)?s Shannon Steele and WOXL-HD-2 (The River)?s Jordan. Perhaps because the station content was following the press conference, one caller asked for her problems to be relayed city officials. She had received her Social Security check but didn?t have the gas to get to a bank that still had cash and thus couldn?t buy food at stores that weren?t yet able to take credit cards.
That particular caller seemed to think the Saga team had some connection to the city manager and could pass along her feedback.* But many of the calls were along those lines. In ways, it was like hearing a customer-service hotline (a good one, anyway). When a woman with no immediate prospects for having her power restored declared, ?It?s OK, because I love to camp,? the hosts thanked her for her positivity.
Western North Carolina radio has been deservedly praised on social media for its post-Helene efforts. One of the most meaningful Facebook comments I saw about iHR/Asheville was from a small-market owner whose take on major-group clusters is usually much less charitable. Some of the efforts of local radio have been national news.*
As we ponder radio?s role in the community, and whether Congress should protect it, it was eye-opening to realize that radio?s function wasn?t just news, it was, essentially, a more urgent version of ?Swap Shop? ? the feature that some small-market stations can?t get rid of, even in good times.*
Hearing Asheville radio made me oddly wistful for New York?s recently departed WCBS-AM. I hope not to hear a New York-area disaster reported anywhere in the near future, but coming across the ad hoc news teams of the two clusters did remind me of what was lost.
I?m also newly resolved that broadcasters have to find some way to offer their communities 24/7 locality, despite their cash crunch. As has been pointed out before, ?wait until they need us during the hurricane? is not a strategy for fighting Spotify, and it?s not the only time I want to hear great radio. (And having heard Asheville radio in happier times, with ample localism and appropriate sense-of-place, I?m not making that claim about these particular stations either).
Hearing ad-hoc teams assembled from throughout two different clusters has, however, sent me back to one of my recent contentions, just in time for NAB New York. If seven stations can afford only one local talent, it is better to network seven stations, each contributing one local jock, rather than seven different ?local? stations with only one jock. That wouldn?t have been the answer for Asheville this week, but it would be more satisfying radio without having to wait for a crisis.
It was also clear here that radio?s public service efforts are a good reason for the industry to advocate for keeping all of broadcast radio in cars, not just AM. WKSF is a three-state powerhouse signal. The market?s News/Talk leader is not WWNC, but FM WCQS (Blue Ridge Public Radio),which I also heard represented via the press conference. It?s also a reminder both that broadcasters should not stop trying to put physical radios back in homes, and that our device promos should also include a smart-speaker skill for getting emergency info from radio. *

Commonwealth Broadcasting and Seven Mountains Media have agreed to a station swap in Bowling Green and Glasgow KY.
No terms have been disclosed yet, but the Commonwealth announcement indicates an immediately LMA will be involved.
The Kristen Cantrell led Seven Mountains Media adds Classic Rock “105.3 The Point” WPTQ Glasgow, Hot AC 106.3 WOVO Horse Cave, Sports “ESPN 102.7” 1450 WWKU/W274CD Plum Springs, and Classic Hip Hop “95.9 The Vibe” W240CP Bowling Green/WOVO-HD2 as well as leases of Charles Anderson’s Classic Hits “100.7 Sam” WKLX Brownsville/99.1 WKYY Beaver Dam and and Rock “98.3 The Edge” W252CV/WPTQ-HD2 as it focuses on the Bowling Green area. The company retains Country “Beaver 96.7” WBVR-FM Auburn, CHR 107.1 WUHU Smiths Grove, and Oldies 1340 WBGN/94.5 W233CZ Bowling Green.
Seven Mountains acquired the Bowling Green/Glasgow properties from Forever Communications in September 2023.
Steven Newberry’s Commonwealth Broadcasting will focus their operations into Glasgow as they acquire Classic Country “Big Willie” 94.1 WLYE-FM Glasgow, 98.5 W253BN Glasgow, and 102.3 WLLI Munfordville and AC 1490 WCLU/103.1 W276DO Glasgow from Seven Mountains.

Commonwealth Broadcasting General Manager Chris Houchens explains the rationale for the deal saying, “Allowing Seven Mountains to super serve and focus on Bowling Green and Warren County, while we do the same for Glasgow and Barren County will be a plus for listeners and advertisers across the region. We are excited to bring together the talents, expertise, and passion of these two groups under one roof in Glasgow. This represents a significant opportunity to elevate the local media experience with local programming and a deeper connection to our community with news and information.?
Cantrell adds, “I?m excited that both markets can now receive the laser focused attention and content that these communities deserve. We are very fortunate that both Seven Mountains Media and Commonwealth Broadcasting share a common vision on how we can server our listeners and deliver results for our local businesses with the power of Radio?
Todd Steenbergen will serve as Operations Manager of the combined Commonwealth Glasgow operation. He comments, “These radio stations have had a long history of serving Barren County all the way back to 1946. We are committed to honoring and continuing that heritage.”

After a week of stunting as “99.7 Doggy-FM“, Hutton Broadcasting has flipped the former CHR “99X” KKDG Durango CO to AAA “Radio Free Durango“.
Replicating the format and branding of sister 98.1 KBAC Santa Fe NM. Hutton Broadcasting Program Director Chris Diestler says, “Mountain towns are notoriously receptive to the AAA format. Adult Album Alternative goes hand-in-hand with the outdoor lifestyle ? hiking, cycling, camping, skiing, etc.* AAA was born in mountain towns like Boulder, Colorado, and continues to flourish in that environment.?
The station is featuring core artists including Beck, Bob Marley, Nirvana, Tom Petty, Lumineers, Radiohead, Tracy Chapman, Wilco, Bonnie Raitt, Prince, Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, U2, David Bowie, Red Hot Chili Peppers, R.E.M., Lucinda Williams, Neil Young, Indigo Girls, Elvis Costello, the Cure, and Talking Heads. The station will also play local Colorado artists including Elder Grown, Stillhouse Junkies, and the Garrett Young Collective.*
The “Doggy FM” programming that has aired for the past week will continue to run as a specialty show on Sundays from 8-10am.
Hutton Four Corners General Manager Jack Llewellyn said, “The key words are diversity and community. We also appreciated the fun and excitement around Doggy FM. Our intentions were to bring awareness to the La Plata County Humane Society through our stunting as Doggy FM. We will continue to bring awareness to their mission of building a community that fosters a culture of humane treatment, where every animal is safe, and is treated with care and respect. Hutton Broadcasting made a $20,000 in-kind donation so the La Plata County Humane Society can continue their brand awareness throughout the area. Hutton additionally made a cash donation and hopes if you enjoyed Doggy FM, you will donate as well by going to https://lpchumanesociety.org/how-you-can-help/give/.?

From Radio Insight:
Following his sudden and abrupt exit, from the syndicated Ace & TJ Show a couple of weeks ago, David ‘Ace’ Cannon released his first statement since the move.
In a video shared to Instagram, Cannon did not comment directly on his departure from the show other than stating that he doesn’t know if he’ll “be a part of your life again the way I was for the past 26 years,”. He noted that he is going through a divorce and taking time to work on himself.
Cannon and Ritchie ?TJ? Beams met when both were working part-time at KQID Alexandria LA in 1991 and would eventually be teamed together in mornings. They moved to WZYP Huntsville AL in 1995 before arriving at ?Kiss 95.1? WNKS Charlotte in 1998. The show has been a constant in the Charlotte market since despite moves to ?Channel 96.1? WHQC in 2012, back to WNKS to run from 9am-12pm in July 2022, and to its current home on Beasley Classic Hits ?K104.7? WKQC in May 2024. Following his departure, the show relaunched as “TJ & Riggins” with producer Bryan ‘Riggins’ Weber rising to co-host with Beams on September 23, but they immediately lost WKQC as an affiliate.
In the video, Cannon said:
Hey, it’s Ace.
I just want to take a moment to thank everyone for your love and support during this very difficult time.
I’m taking this time to work on myself and create a better space for myself and my future.
Sadly, I am separated right now and going through a divorce and I just ask that you please be kind to all my family members and provide us the space that we need to adjust to this ever changing situation.
Um, for me, I never really took the time to heal myself while working through difficult situations to pass.
I’m working on becoming the man I want to be, achieving the goals I want to achieve and most importantly being the best father that I can be to my children.
But what’s important in this moment is to say, thank you. Thousands of you reached out to let me know that you were thinking of me and my family and you were praying for me and my family, and that means more to me than you could ever imagine.
I don’t know what my future holds.
I don’t know when or if I’ll be a part of your life again the way I was for the past 26 years, but I do know that I will emerge from this a better and stronger person and a better and stronger father.
