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.'

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.

With terrestrial radio stocks in the penny-stock range, you know damn-
well your industry is headed into the ****ter, despite the HD Radio
farce.

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.

"Help the Victims of Consolidation"

"With 2008 likely to be a year of career carnage unlike any we have
seen to date, this is a good way to do something positive for yourself
if you are fortunate enough to remain fully employed and for others
who get caught in the tragedy of what has clearly become the radio
industry's greatest failure -- consolidation"

LOL, Eduardo!

"BRACING FOR THE WORST"

"In fact, the earnings report was so dismal that it shocked industry
analysts and led to yet another drop in Citadel's already sagging
stock price, pushing it further into penny stock territory. Given a
brutal outlook for the radio business and its own particularly
alarming financial future, the company was forced to write off an
unexpectedly large portion of the value of its stations, sending
investors running for cover. UPDATE: as the trading day continued, CDL
shares were pounded even further, closing down $1.46 at $2.40 a share
(a 38% loss in just one day). Volume was a heavy 11.5 million shares
(405% higher than normal) and Citadel's total market cap loss for the
day was a staggering $385,000,000. As recently as 2003, Citadel shares
traded as high as $23.00"

Hey, Eduardo - is your little research staff laughing, now? That is,
if they haven't been laid-off, yet. I hope that your retirement isn't
in a
company-sponsored pension plan - it will get raided by Univision, once
it really starts to tank. How does it feel to be in a decline
industry? No wonder, the HD Alliance is throwing terrestrial radio
under-the bus, in their new joke of a marketing campaign:

"HD Radio's New Campaign"

"In a sort of snarky approach, the campaign features a humanized radio
talking to his owner about why HD Radio product is so attractive and
not worth the bother. But in the process, traditional radio is
repositioned as old-fashioned, repetitive, and lame... You have to
hear these commercials a few times before you really get a basic
understanding of what they're trying to accomplish, while they throw
AM/FM Radio under the bus."

http://jacobsmedia.typepad.com/jacob...ios-new-1.html

"GSD&M Preps $200 Mil.+ HD Radio Push"

"GSD&M has already begun producing work. The ads feature the voice of
cartoon character SpongeBob (actor Tom Kenny) as a conventional car
radio calling its owner and leaving messages as if it's a jilted
lover. 'You know, I could totally pick up those new extra HD stations
if I hit the gym,' the radio says in desperation. 'Is that what you're
into now? Huh? Call me!'"

http://www.adweek.com/aw/national/ar..._id=1003691980

"Radio: You don't want HD Radio's Bilk-o in your foxhole."

"How would you like it if one you believed to be a business partner
did an about face and supported the very thing your industry is
fighting against? Memo to terrestrial radio: iBiquity and the HD Radio
Alliance just double-crossed you."

You work in such a proud industry, Eduardo!

Huh? When times are tough you need to push harder. Peter's right,
radio is not the most amenable business when it comes to
standardization. Every market is unique. Cookie cutters suck.

Are you even capable of that anymore?
