The best-realized episode of 2022’s Sometimes When We Touch, the three-part Paramount Plus documentary on late ‘70s/early ‘80s soft rock was its final installment. That segment was the one covering Yacht Rock, powered by interviews from Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins, as well as Steve Huey and Dave Lyons, who helped retroactively define the subgenre with their YouTube series.

Nation Radio South is moving Steve Power to breakfast and has hired Mark Collins for the mid-morning show.
It means from January, Nation Radio will have a line-up almost identical to Wave 105 of old.
Steve Power hosted Wave 105 breakfast for around 17 years, whilst Mark Collins was on mid-mornings for almost 20 years
Wave 105 turned into Greatest Hits Radio earlier this year and ever since, Nation has been hiring almost all of the presenters who left.
Only Rick Jackson remains on the former Wave 105 frequencies for the time being.
Steve Power said: “Listeners deserve a breakfast show from the South for the South. I’m delighted to return to a time of the day I know well.
“Since joining Nation Radio along with my longtime co-host Selina Ross, we have a renewed love for radio and can’t wait to bring Steve Power at Breakfast back to radio in the South.”
Mark Collins said ‘I can’t wait to be back on the radio across the South on the show I love doing best. I’ll have great songs, The Golden Hour at 9am and our fiendishly tricky quiz, the Weekday Link, back at 11:15 – love it or hate it!”
Current Nation Radio breakfast and mid-morning hosts Neil Fox and Russ Williams will continue to host their shows across the rest of the Nation Radio network of stations.
At Nation South, Andy Jackson will replace Steve Power on Drive.
Nation’s founder Jason Bryant said; “This is the next part of our plan to bring listeners across the South the station they deserve. With the South’s Best Variety of Hits, friendly and much loved local presenters, we have the perfect combination for audience figures to soar in 2025.”

Former BBC Radio Lancashire presenter John Gillmore is to host a one-off show on Red Rose Radio.
Gilly has worked on radio in Lancashire since joining the original Red Rose Radio in 1985, where he stayed for 13 years. He then settled at BBC Radio Lancashire after a stint on Breakfast at The Bay in Lancaster.
He was at BBC Radio Lancashire from 2005 until recently when his show was part of the recent cuts.
John said: ‘I’m looking forward to presenting a Christmas Day programme on Red Rose Radio again where I previously presented Christmas morning every year from 1987 until 1997.’
John will host 11am to 1pm on Christmas Day on the new DAB version of Red Rose Radio, run by Rob Charles.

Cumulus Media Conservative Talk 710 KCMO Kansas City/95.7 KCMO-FM Shawnee KS has launched a revamped on-air lineup. […]
National speech radio station talkSPORT wants to turn off seven of its 18 transmitters.
The move would reduce its national AM radio coverage from 92% to 88.9% of the UK adult population.
Ofcom says it is minded to approve the request, and wanted to let the industry know it is minded to make similar decisions should any other broadcaster ask to reduce AM coverage.
The transmitter sites talkSPORT is requesting to close are; Clipstone (Nottinghamshire), Duxhurst (Surrey), Lisnagarvey (in County Antrim, Northern Ireland), Lydd (Kent), Stockton (Durham/North Yorkshire), Southwick/Brighton (West Sussex) and Rusthall (Tunbridge Wells).
The reasons given by talkSPORT for these proposed changes include declining listenership to its AM service as people turn to alternative platforms, considered against the ongoing viability of each transmitter site.
“Before reaching a final decision we are giving stakeholders an opportunity to make comments on the request and our provisional decision. This is because, if the changes are permitted, some listeners will lose their ability to receive talkSPORT on the AM (medium wave) band, and because other commercial radio stations might be interested in the approach that we are minded to take in this case,” Ofcom said.
The talkSPORT broadcasting licence was initially awarded by an auction process in July 1994 to Talk Radio UK, and has subsequently been renewed on three occasions.
The station will remain available nationally on DAB and other platforms.
Absolute Radio, which held the only other national AM licence for commercial radio, switched off all its transmitters in January 2023 and was fined £25,000 for doing so.
