Syntax,
You don't understand. I have no interest in "researching" what is so apparent a failure that you so want to plead a success in any way you can.
It's not my job, nor my interest, to divulge financial information on a company that, obviously, is have monumental problems from quarter to quart, and a huge loss from what they had last year in the same quarter. If you think that the next quarter, be it calendar or fiscal year will be any better, no matter how you slice and dice it ... at least, as I mentioned, from an advertising and financial situation ... especially in this economy, I want a drag on what you're smoking.
As for currency of the PPM numbers, of which Pulse is paying a separate price as you know, it's funny that their advertising leverage has continued to slide from quarter to quarter ... PPM or not. With that signal and this economy, being where they are all around, including on being broke, is no sign that advertisers ... and major ones at that ... are doing anything but taking a wait and see.
The question is ... how long can Mega hold out? If Russian made it more money at less expense ... it doesn't take an Einstein, even you, to understand that the situation is not good for Pulse 87.
And incidentally, I don't need to be an apologist for someone who, like you, doesn't understand the reality of a situation, nor has too much time on his hands "investigating" the non-relevant. You don't need to be a doctor to read this medical book. The patient is dying, it's lifeblood is being sucked out of it because it is weak and without immediate infusion of revenue, the baby is DOA.
I didn't say anything about Tony's enthusiasm or passion for that which he loves. The fact is, there are other forces at work here, and you, as an apologist, have merely choose sides, without facing the reality of "fact."
So, this question ... would you invest a million bucks in Mega Media to make up for the million plus it lost in the ... pick a quarter?
If so, before you do, I know of a bridge that you need to buy, first.
And Neo, I'm well aware of what "killed" radio. Cost cutting to the bone, not looking at the fact that young people as a mass don't listen to rado anymore because programming is so bad, talent is not the rule and the "business model" to make station's survive so they can pay people just doesn't work much or well anymore.
Of course, you probably have trouble understanding that radio is not for your convenience ... it's a business ... and like so many others (and Pulse is not a General Motors, or even close,) you have a lot to learn about the "business" of radio. Without it, you can't survive. It's a business. It's about $$$$. And you can take PPM numbers to your banker and he'll toss you out because it's not "ratings" that pay the bills. It's people spending money on your radio station ... and in New York ... lots of it. Or, you die. Period.
And Tony, I enjoy your posts, too. I also appreciate your kindness. I'm not a "hater" ... really. And I agree that there are some bad owners in "corporate" out there. And I'm sad over how some, but not all, have destroyed the industry.
