Bakersfield Hurricane Relief

[marcopolo]

Can I say "Nice Job Clear Channel" without getting my head bit off? I've been listening to the market since the Hurricane, and one thing is obvious...Clear Channel puts more into their community efforts than any other cluster...hands down. While I know KERN did a short drive last week, today, KBKO and the CC team of KRAB, FOX and KGET filled 2 semis with supplies. Heard Meathead and Desi do their show from the drive, then heard Ken and Laray broadcasting ALL DAY after their show. Putting their mouths where their hearts are. Hey Buckley? Spanish Radio Group? La Campasina? The rest of AGM? KUZZ? Nothing from any of them. Bash on Clear Channel all you want...this group of employees apparently CARES.

I would agree. I just returned from Albuquerque, where in market #70, their cluster (not the largest, mind you) filled seven semis and pulled in a couple hundred grand in cash.
