Re: [IRCA] Radio Needs to Serve Listeners...Not Wall Street

["David Gleason" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It always has been about money, but today may be better. The worst thing was
working in pre/consolidation radio in an industry that was filled with
operators so small, they could often not get decent health care for just a
few employees, and where there were no other benefits. And that is without
mentioning Richard eaton, Max Richmond, Harry Averill, Richard Eaton, and
the other raving maniacs or nutcases who ran or owned stations and offered
you about 15 minutes of stability.

I would tend to think that radio's priority has always been money as they 
can't pay their bills without it like any thing else, they are in the 
business to make money. The sad part is that this latest scheme to "rescue" 
AM radio will probably ultimately kill it. If not kill it, in 5 years there 
will probably only be about 20 or 30 50KW stations left, all the little guys

will have been hashed out of business. Forced desperate changes do not 
usually work very well.
