Clear Channel is renamed iHeartMedia. Over the air radio is going away. Quinn might have made a smart move.

Yep. Gonna become an online portal. Sell off the broadcast stations and cut operating overhead by 90+%. Just like Radio Disney.

Which is likely why they are dumping out of Conservative talk radio. They are going to need to start putting stations on the market, and they can't afford to have a hostile Obama FCC slow-rolling the process.

Not sure if that makes Jimmy very smart though. By the time he finally gets around to organizing something he may find his name recognition on par with Don McNeill or Walter Winchell.

Yup...seems like Jim is a day late. Hopefully not a dollar short.

If WTAE goes dark in the next few days OTA commercial radio is dead. Happening a lot faster than I thought.

When everything is digital it might be like old block programming. Everything is so fractured that advertisers will buy programs not stations.

What might save things for awhile would be a huge upturn in the economy. Local advertisers might be able to afford buys.

Not likely....sigh.
