Things are going so poorly for Cumulus that the radio group reportedly has developed a secret “doomsday plan” that kicks in when all other remedies fail.
Another bankruptcy doesn’t solve their problems: It’s still an option that is coming closer to reality but then the lenders who now own Cumulus take another haircut and their losses become more permanent.
