Re: [IRCA] Radio Disney
I totally agree with your analysis of why Disney is getting out, how they
paid too much for the stations and in the end, many of them will become
brokered facilities.
They paid $40 million for WQEW. It was an LMA which lasted for eight years.
They won't get that today.

I think Disney wants to get out of the network business. Networks are a
headache. Programming KDIS alone will be far easier and much less expensive
than a network.
It paid way too much for some of the stations. A lot of money was spent on
broadbanding to make HD easier to configure and maintain. The high power
facilities are expensive to maintain. Not having to pay for HD licenses each
year will save a lot of money.
I think Spanish, religious (especially Catholic) and other ethnic group
owners will be interested in the stations. They have money to spend. Cumulus
and iHeart Media are both heavily leveraged and losing a lot of money.
Several Catholic groups are aggressively buying stations. Disney would
probably accept reasonable offers.
