CC is simply TRYING to make a radio station work. They don't know what the heck they're doing...but they're trying. Mark my words, after CC liquidates all the underperforming stations they will start a selloff that will change the face of radio as we know it. Prices will drop and stations will be finally FORCED to make the kind of programming decisions we've all hoped they would. Local radio will return, fun and silly station marketing promotions will come back, stations will be heavily promoted and corporate owners will realize only local folks can make any decent money doing it because they don't have to answer to Wall Street investors. Then, giants like Cox, Cumulus, Citadel and others will also sell off and get out of the business. Of couse, by that time we'll all be so old that we won't care about radio but it will happen.
