If Merlin want to stay in the all-news business wouldn't they have to cross promote themselves with a local TV Affiliates they signed contracts with. Look at WINS and WCBS they can just get somebody from WCBS 2 to appear on 1010 Wins or WCBS 880 for some stories or any CBS all-News radio with a CBS TV O&O would do what 1010 WINS and WCBS 880 does. Or in the Case of KGO-AM Cumulus in San Francisco they get somebody from Disney ABC O&O KGO-TV to appear on KGO-AM for certain stories. Or in the case of KOMO-FM and KOMO-AM in Seattle they get somebody from KOMO-TV to do a report for them.
