On October 13, 2025, an app quietly arrived in the Microsoft Store for a self-described "lightweight, elegant" radio player — one that lives in the system tray of a Windows-powered computer. Now, thanks to a blogger and word-of-mouth, this tiny internet hub for AM and FM stations in gaining greater notice.

It's another week at the top of the peek into play count for commercials airing on the broadcast TV stations monitored by iHeartMedia-owned Media Monitors. What brand commands the biggest share of spots seen on national TV? It differs from that of Spot Cable, where auto insurers dominate.

It boasts a motto of "Teach. Talk. Jesus!" and at present can be heard on stations serving Evansville, Ind.; Louisville, Ky.; and both Huntington and Charleston, W. Va. Soon, this broadcast ministry's programming will be heard just west of the Twin Tiers of Pennsylvania and New York, as it is purchasing an FM in the small Western New York market.

It was a broadcast TV offering that mirrored CNN Headline News circa 1991. And, it saw Manoj Bhargava snap up a collection of LPTV properties to help build out NewsNet. Today, NewsNet is defunct. Former broadcast homes are being divested — including two Michigan LPTVs. Who's the buyer?

As first reported by Streamline Publishing's Radio Ink, Maire Mason is taking a key New York leadership role at the company that's parent to WBLS and "HOT 97," as well as the Estrella Media Spanish-language multimedia company. She's inbound from Spanish Broadcasting System's N.Y. station group.
