[IRCA] Radio History

["Art Blair" <artngwen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

June 20, 1970. "The Long and Winding Road", by The Beatles, started a second week in the number one spot on the pop music charts. The tune was the last one released by The Beatles.

June 20, 1996. Westinghouse Electric agreed to buy Infinity Broadcasting for $3.9 billion, a move that would combine the two biggest players in radio. That was just the beginning, as they say, of the gobbling up of American radio by corporate America. Congress had passed the Telecommunications Act in February, 1996 permitting expansion of TV and radio station holdings, and removing restrictions on how many stations could be owned by one entity (huge corporation) in one market (your town/city).
