Fewer and fewer each year.


There are 13,500 radio stations in the US and some 3,500 owners.

Most are
small.


1) Your statement doesn't address the trend towards fewer and fewer
stations each year. How many owners were there 10 years ago? 20
years ago?

2) 3500 is much less than half of 13,500, implying that the majority
of owners own more than one station. "Most" are small? NO.


I don't have the data, but I'd take a guess and
say that the top 5 owners of radio stations
probably account for over half of the 13,500.
