All the CC stations in the LA market make lots of money. None of the CC
stations is run at a loss on purpose, although some of them lose money
due to sharper competitors or bad signals.
They ran Indie 103.1 at a loss until the FCC stopped them.


They did no such thing. Indie was run by Entravision with a JSA (joint
sales agreement) with Clear Channel so they would not have to have a
separate sales department for a station (actually, combo) that only
covers about 20% of the market.

20% if you count unoccupied dirt. Clear Channel ran it at a loss to chip
away at KROQ and to claim the widest playlists in America. JSA usually
means the bigger entity runs things.


I meant "20% of the population" which is the way people in radio think of
coverage. Cattle and rattlesnakes don't carry people meters.
