Too bad. Some good people still working there.

I read the article...if I were in any of their shoes, I'd be calling my lawyer (if I hadn't done so already). Very scary stuff, here. This doesn't look good for the radio operations.

Oh, the irony for the business/money network!
Bittersweet news, Brent?
Programming staff -- Doug, Troy, etc. -- run for the hills!

I get the feeling I'm about to re-inherit a headache.

I don't wish a headache on you, Chuck, but it would be a great outlet for the jazz/blues/oldies some of us want so desperately if you did get it back. |

I agree that it would be a good place to put a niche format. Anything but a money and finance format. Anyone who thinks they can make any money with that kind of format has to be delusional.
A for-real radio news format, with a real news department, maybe?

If it reverts back to Salem, I can guarantee that won't happen. It would not become all news, either. The cost of equipment plus an appropriate number of staff to effectively operate it would be cost prohibitive. |

The old adage which normally relates to the wine business looks like it's applicable here:
Q: How do you wind up with a small fortune in the broadcast business?
A: Start off with a large one.
