Clear Channel is the Microsoft of Broadcasting.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

We're on the leading edge of satellite radio broadcast which is going to make local radio stations about as influential as local tv stations are now.

This could be no more inconsequential in my mind, no matter which way it goes.

Local tv is still free, what real impact does ownership of that market have?

I tried to look at the link but they wanted personal and private information on me before I could view it. The last guy who filled that stuff out got snatched away in the middle of the night by the black helicopters.

Until satellite radio is free, it's scope and influence will be limited.


Note: I believe one really cannot compare a subscriber service like satellite radio to free radio or free television though. On a subscriber service, we are the consumers. With the "free" services, we are the product.
