I've said this before... I bet they could make a deal with Broadcast Comapany of the Americas. (Hey, then they really would be "America's Finest City Broadasstes").
But seriously folks, think about it. The operator of 91X reunited with a Sports stations that has, pretty much taken over the Sports Talk in San Diego.
Then they'd have:
Z90
Magic925
91X
Mighty1090
Cash 1700
Oh, and isn't there someting at 105.7 that BCA owns?
Ok, am I way off here, or does anyone else thing a merger between BCA and FCB is possible? And what other stations could they possibly be intersted in?

Don't forget that only Mexican nationals can own Mexican frequencies. However, Americans can do a Mexican JSA with them (more like an LMA here in the States.)

Let's see what Finest City does with the properties they
currently control, instead of projecting a partnership
with John Lynch. I don't see that happening anyway.

Re: What about Mighty1090 perhaps?
Ok,
For now on, when I am talking about the X's with regard to American broadcasters, please assume I am talking about leased time.
I apologize for not making that clear, and I will try to do a better job of that in future posts.

Uh, did you read the link posted earlier? They said they wanted more stations in the San Diego market. So why else would we be talking about it?
And by the way, if you wish to speculate about what they will do with their current properties, there's plenty of stuff here on the board already, including a thread just below, about what they are going to do now that Chio has backed out of the Z90 morning slot.

Re: But Finest City SAID they wanted more stations. Read the link!
How many companies don't say they want new properties?
Sounds pretty generic to me. They have a long way to
go, 91X has lost 40 percent of their revenue in the
past 2 years. In San Diego Alternative Rock is a zero
sum game, 2 stations can't exist in the format &
make money. As for XPRS, The Viejas Band of Kumeyaay
Indians, which owns and operates Viejas Casino,
owns 50% of BCA. Sports has the highest power
ratio of any format XPRS is doing fine.

I apologize in advance if I am off base on this, but it sounds to me like you are changing the subject. Except for who owns BCA, the success of 91X (or lack of) has NOTHING to do with what we were talking about.
And, as a matter of fact, I'm not even sure wha the relevence of Vieja's stake in BCA has to do with anything?
Can we please stay on topic?

I believe that the reply was on topic, since the thread is about what Finest City may do in terms of expansion. There aren't a lot of owners to acquire properties from, BCA is already on shaky ground with the FCC, and in any event, Finest City does face an uphill battle with 91X. (I know what I would do, but that would take us off-topic.) If I were Finest City, I wouldn't be looking for additional properties until they've fixed the ones they have JSA'd already.
The relevance of the Viejas Band's stake in BCA is relevant because if BCA finds itself needing to make changes -- regardless of whether or not Finest City is involved -- they are a major factor financially.<P ID="signature">______________

Re: KM, what would you do?
KM explained it well. There is a lot more to the business than
thinking it would cool to have a big AM stick in your portfolio.
91 X must start making money, or investors like Dex Allen will
not hesitate to utilize their influence. The monthly nut for
those properties is huge,XMORE is not going away & has caused
audience erosion for Z90. They have very capable people in place,
but it is unlikely Finest City will be acquiring any more San
Diego properties until they fix their own.

Why can't you let KM Answer for himself?
KM only said what they shouldn't do. He DID NOT say what he WOULD do, and he stated (very clearly) that he wouldn't becuase it might be off topic.
Am I missing something here?

Re: K.M. Answers
Good answer-don't give away consulting advice.
What I learned in this little exercise
is Garrett really is not interested in how
the business actually works. Fair enough, I won't
attempt to engage in any further discussions with
him.

While I appreciate your understanding why I'm not saying more than I am, that last crack about Garrett was rather uncalled for.
As I said previously, in another thread, in response to your direct question about his background: I know Garrett, I know what his background is (and it includes several years at stations in the San Diego market), and I cannot come to the same conclusion as you.<P ID="signature">______________
