The Future of radio according to Lew Dickey

interesting how he makes the distinction between companies and stations. Apparently all those layoffs a month ago will enable him to buy more of the latter.

what a putz. but, survival of the fitest, right? there is a fire sale going on everywhere if you have the liquid.

Ever hear of the coriolis effect? Maybe Lew hasn't. If half the radio companies will be gone soon it will cause, IMHO, the same thing as the 7.2 Billion dollar French investor embezzlement thing that appears to have started the worldwide financial flush to begin with. Once that water starts spinning the force of all that moving liquid will tend to increase the diameter of the top of the vortex of spinning fluid. Maybe stations and/or companies that may have looked to be immune from financial disaster could fall prey to the suction also.

Guess we’ll just have to wait and see… :

(Does IBM still sell and service the Selectric? That twisting ball thingy was pretty cool to watch...)

Just my 2¢. Carry on…
