I'm not telling you anything, I'm not purporting to be in charge of anything. All I said was I was proud of Clear Channel for trying to clean up their act some, and hoped that it might be the beginning of better rules for broadcasting and improve the industry for the DJ's and other people involved in the business, because they are looking at more than indecency, they are also looking at how many stations are owned and whether the same corporations should be allowed to control all the medias at once, radio and newspaper and TV. I see this as a breakthrough for improving the broadcasting industry. All Stern or anyone else would have to do is play by the new rules, and I'm sure they would be on-air again. However, the people they fired brought them the largest fines by the FCC, so the Clear Channel corporation is starting to pay attention to this fact and look after themselves more.

In Bubba's case in his last contract he was forced to take all financial responsibilty for any levied fines by the FCC so Clear Channel is not losing dollar one except in advertizing revenue. c. rumors are starting that bubba was negotiating an out for clear channel by moving into the paid subscription base of satellite radio and clearchannel expects to make a bundle by advertising church lady shows here but $20 a month gets all the bubba they want. Its not decency driving any of this it is a dollar bill and the unholey halleluia chorus is wolves circling the sheeple. And you as a lead sheep are baaing in the forfront. feh, thanx, bill when I was young I envisioned myself as the embodiment of Trinity, Now I realize I have turned into the Bambino questions, help?

I haven't been in broadcasting in years and years. I don't know what is standard cost of operations and what is minor from what isn't. b. those numbers are announced and negotiated downward. In Bubba's case in his last contract he was forced to take all financial responsibilty for any levied fines by the FCC so Clear Channel is not losing dollar one except in advertizing revenue. Now that one I did hear, that Bubba was being charged instead. c. rumors are starting that bubba was negotiating an out for clear channel by moving into the paid subscription base of satellite radio and clearchannel expects to make a bundle by advertising church lady shows here but $20 a month gets all the bubba they want. Its not decency driving any of this it is a dollar bill and the unholey halleluia chorus is wolves circling the sheeple. And you as a lead sheep are baaing in the forfront. I ain't no lead sheep. I didn't call or complain to anyone. I didn't even write the FCC when everyone rallied around complaining about the Super Bowl halftime show. I'm just a simple ex-broadcasting person who is on the sidelines watching, I ain't doing a damn thing either way. Just voiced my opinion, was all, and only here and in the KCFV forum, not to the powers that be or control it all.
