Clear Channel Communications flips two of their Fresno/Visalia, California properties, Fox Sports Radio affiliate KRZR and Adult Top 40 KALZ, to a Talk radio simulcast as "Power Talk 1400 & 96.7," using programming from co-owned Premiere Radio Networks[3] | |
2 | Just weeks after letting go most of its airstaff, WTKK/Boston ended its Talk format to begin a series of format stunts, which landed on Rhythmic AC as "Hot 96.9" on January 8.[4] |
3 | Cumulus Media reached a deal with Arbitron to have its stations now included in Arbitron ratings and PPMs after a three year absence, which also include sharing media and research content between the two companies.[5] |
Curtis Media flips Regional Mexican WYMY/Raleigh to Urban AC with the new calls WBZJ[6] | |
7 | WOKY/Milwaukee ends its 4-year run at Classic Country (following WZBK's departure from the same format in September 2012) to enter the market's Sports Talk battle with WSSP and WAUK, using programming from Fox Sports Radio, NBC Sports Radio and simulcasting programs from sister station WTSO/Madison.[7] |
9 | CKNG/Edmonton drops Classic Hits for Adult Top 40 as "92.5 Fresh FM".[8] |

13 | WFME/Newark, New Jersey ends its simulcast of Family Radio as it comes under the control of Cumulus Media. After a week of stunting, the rechristened WRXP "Nash FM" launches with a country music format on January 21, marking the return of country to New York after a seventeen-year absence.[11] Cumulus then swapped its WNSH call-sign from its station in Cambridge, Minnesota with WRXP at midnight on January 29, 2013.[12] |
25 | In a effort to boost its ratings (as they continue to trail Rhythmic Top 40 WNVZ and Top 40/CHR WVHT in the Arbitrons after nine months), Top 40/CHR WVMA/Norfolk rebrands from "New 105.3" to "Now 105.3".[13] |

Radio is the transmission of signals through free space by electromagnetic waves with frequencies significantly below visible light, in the radio frequency range, from about 3 kHz to 300 GHz. These waves are called radio waves. Electromagnetic radiation travels by means of oscillating electromagnetic fields that pass through the air and the vacuum of space.
Information, such as sound, is carried by systematically changing (modulating) some property of the radiated waves, such as their amplitude, frequency, phase, or pulse width. When radio waves strike an electrical conductor, the oscillating fields induce an alternating current in the conductor. The information in the waves can be extracted and transformed back into its original form.
The etymology of "radio" or "radiotelegraphy" reveals that it was called "wireless telegraphy," which was shortened to "wireless" in Britain. The prefix radio- in the sense of wireless transmission, was first recorded in the word radioconductor, a description provided by the French physicist Édouard Branly in 1897. It is based on the verb to radiate (in Latin "radius" means "spoke of a wheel, beam of light, ray").
Promise me you'll remember
This love together today
We may not have tomorrow
It's not for us to say
Fate isn't kind to lovers
It breaks the hardest hearts
Promise you'll remember
How good we are
Why do I find the sadness
Under your sweetest kiss
Destiny seems to whisper
It won't stay like this
Whenever we're together
I feel time standing still
I only know I love you
And I always will
If we should lose each other
Somewhere inside the dark
Promise me you'll remember
How good we are
Whenever we're together
I feel time standing still
I only know I love you
And I always will
If we should lose each other
Somewhere inside the dark
Promise me you'll remember
How good we are
Time isn't kind to lovers
It breaks the hardest hearts
Promise me you'll remember
