I'm no lawyer, but it always seemed to me that if someone worked at, say Infinity, his job would be to compete against Clear Channel, Entercom, and Citadel. If one of those companies say Entercom were to buy the Infinity station, the employee would have a point when he claimed he was hired for the specific purpose of competing against Entercom.
I'd say just because Entercom bought my station, and therefore my contract and employment, I've always competed against them, and was bonused when I beat them. It would seem a stretch for a court to say he couldn't compete against a company that had, itself, been the competition.
Truth is, its a boys club of three companies, and they very seldom engage in arguing eachother's non competes.
