here's something I'm wondering about. Clearchannel has vowed to clean up its airwaves. so they are firing people changing peoples contracts to tone them down, dropping stern etc. with all of this ratings have to be going down so will their income. I wonder how long until they decide " fuck it, it's worth paying the fines to make more money."

also, it wasn't too long ago that the FCC ruled to relax the rules on companies owning mulitple radio stations in the same market. Now companies like clearchannel own tons of stations in each market. The FCC smacks them and they start changing everything. If the FCC gets it's way they will implement a 3 strikes policy so if they fine a peticular station 3 times they can yank that stations license. So if clearchannl owns 60% of the stations in a given market and they get the licenses pulled or slapped hard a couple of times then basically the FCC now controls 60% of all radio in that market.

kind of scary.
