bidding for 101.1 on Whidbey Island

[AQH]

Entercom, or any other Seattle for-profit licensee don't care a lick about Whatcom or Skagit Counties because it's not profitable. I can't imagine profits are very high at KISM, KGMI or KAFE. Enter translators or repeaters, playing by the rules. Most of the programming on those I don't care for either, but I somehow manage a good night's sleep. Go turn on your computer and listen to Triple J, Triple M, or Triple Bacon Crunch Wrap, or whatever the stations you frequently brag about listening to.

Start imagining. Saga does VERY well in the Bellingham market. It helps that they basically have the whole market to themselves. If I had the top line and bottom line that Saga enjoys in Bellingham, I'd be living in a much larger home and flying in my private plane.

Depends on the metric. If we're talking percentage of market revenue, then definitely they're on top of the hill.

If talking percentage of revenue for the company overall, then yes I'm sure they still make money, it's not as if the stock price would nosedive should Saga sell Bellingham.

I'm speaking of margins and cash flow... but then you may know something I don't know.
