Forced sale of Finest City Broadcasting's assets
- Thread starter ncountysurf
- Start date
91X may be a "good" station but the other two are much higher in the ratings. 92.5 is often #1 and 90.3 is 5th or 6th with the demise of 98.9 (XMORE). By the way the change to all sports at 98.9 has seen the ratings sink to almost nothing. In any event, if the three do go silent, then another station/stations will switch format to fill in the void left.

Radio-info's front page is reporting that the station is going to Lynch through a separate group called L.M.A. - Local Media of America, which I presume (if it works the same way as it does with TV stations), is just another company on paper, and that all of these are going to be under one roof.
So bottom line will any of them get blown up?
This is fascinating, though not unexpected that 91X ends up back under the control of Lynch. He got it on the air (with a little help from Ed Noble and a few others) despite lawsuits by CERF (Citizens for Equality in Radio Frequencies, which was led by Dan McKinnon, at the time the owner of KSON AM/FM, and joined by almost every licensed San Diego broadcast entity) and numerous other obstacles. Every party to the suit settled. Lynch made good money from it and CERF blew away in the breeze. Lynch took 91X and nurtured it, worked it, created X-Fest with it and then sold it off with his Noble assets to what ultimately became Clear Channel. He was then shoved upstairs to a lousy office with a meaningless title in their service until they could finally off load him. This is the ultimate shove it where the sun don't shine he could inflict upon these slime. They bought it from him, screwed him and now he's stolen it back and maybe left them with a bit of a sore posterior in turn. Good on you John Lynch.
He'll know what to do with his new found acquisitions too. I've seen this guy go down the darkest roads with huge risk and emerge the other side with sunglasses and a new Mercedes. I've looked him in the eye and told him he was nuts and was about to lose his ass, only to be proven wrong on more than one occasion, starting well before the insane deal he did for KJOY, which only made him and Noble something like $20 million. He's a big, dumb asshole that somehow always comes out ahead.
I'm a fan of his despite having worked for him for ten years and been put into situations I would rather have not had to deal with, but in all fairness, he made it possible for me to go back to school and have a career I wouldn't have had otherwise. Life is funny. No?
Lynch has made plenty of money, had successes, failures, enemies, friends, won, lost and pretty much lived a large life, and I applaud this development with 91X. Screw the rest of it.
I challenge him to get richer than his son, who did a hell of a lot better in pro football than his daddy (knife in and twisted now). The rest of the San Diego broadcasting community better look out. This guy plays hardball and he just bought a pretty good team.
John, call Steve West and Halloran. They both need work and you could definitely use them. Good luck. Dumbass.
