If this signals a resetting of priorities...there may be some hope. And
a realization that, for those of us who still believe in shortwave, profit
is not the Only Thing.
Then, again, the brain surgeons in the corner offices at Radio are not
known for 'getting it.'
I don't need to mention any names.

Clear Channel Buy-Out Doubts Keep Growing
Deal Still Likely, But Doubts Are Growing

The root cause for these doubts has nothing to do with radio. It has to do
with the mortgage and banking and housing crisis, which has made credit
tighter as well as impacting the investment bankers who are part of the
radio deals who also may have exposure to mortgage related issues.

This same situation affects auto parts companies, biomeds, Internet
companies, etc. It's a credit issue, not a radio one.


Eduardo - Your industry is in free-fall due to bad decisions made
radio execs that have a total disconnect with their audience.

It has nothing to do with the mortgage and banking industry - nice

I actually got RF burns a lot when I worked at KRIZ (now KOY). In the
mid '60s you had to take antenna current measurements (every 30
minutes!) at the base of the tower, which involved a big-ass slide
switch. If you touched the wrong stuff you'd get bad to the bone RF burns.
