1. Clear Channel is going down but are they out – not if you understand Bob Pittman’s one last Hail Mary move.
2. What about all those smaller companies like Alpha – keepers or losers?
3. How about the Scripps – Journal merger – a good thing or are they no safer than any other company?
4. One radio group that is so over, you never saw it coming (and neither did they).
