The clear channels don't generally cover much that is not covered by dozens of FMs in and around each market the 25 original 1 A clears today. At night, the AM channels have so much interference that they don't cover much that is not covered by FMs, too. And in any case, night radio listening is very low... about 10% of all radio listening. So saying people are dependent on the clear channel stations when, in fact, there is scant listening to stations outside their metro areas, is exaggeration. There is some, but it is almost statistically insignificant today. |

I can't imagine any of them saying anything different, because we all live by the same metrics and information and sales realities. |

You make crap because you have no idea what you're doing. You forget the intangibles and let the number crunchers pick the songs. You have no one to blame but yourselves. |
