I'm waiting for something to come down in writing. |
If I had to predict, I would say that this year, 2005 to 2006, was probably the worst of it, in terms of the percentage increase. Things seem to have stabilized a little bit. |
If you engage in pay-for-play, you cannot work for Clear Channel. We believe the vast majority of our programmers are doing a terrific job, fully within the law. |
In the current year, when we revised our budget in the fall, we recognized a very substantial increase in costs of all utilities - electricity, natural gas and steam. Both natural gas and steam costs are rising very substantially. |
It looks really good, there were about 10 to 15 guys. Some of the old-timers were very pleased when they saw how they were using it by helping the handicapped. |
It was vulgar, offensive and insulting, not just to women and African-Americans but to anyone with a sense of common decency. |
It's all about great radio. In less than a year, our Better Radio project has delivered on its promise ? better radio creates a bigger audience. |
It's been interesting, in a little bit less than nine months weve gone from trying to convince people that :30s and :15s were a viable option, to now were responding to requests for even shorter length commercials. Weve had major national agencies come to us and talk to us about what were now calling 'ad-lets,' which are five-second commercials. Weve had requests for seven-second commercials. Its really spawned a different kind of conversation and a different level of participation with our advertising partners. Thats all really very encouraging. |
It's like if you were gonna eat at home. You're gonna make a few vegetables and potatoes to pass around the table and I think that's kind of the gist of what a Chicago steak house is. We have a little motto here: we're not a steak house, we're a steak home. |
It's obvious we are no longer in the business of tall towers and big fields. |
Mr. Stern's show has created a great liability for us and other broadcasters who air it, ... The Congress and the FCC are even beginning to look at revoking station licenses. That's a risk we're just not willing to take. |

Our programmers (have) created a massive infusion of new programming to radio. |
Profiling was accepted, not trained or taught, ... Did race play a role? Yes, but there are so many other aspects that went into who we stopped. |
Radio has to become more than tall towers in big fields. We have to complement the radio experience with video and online interactivity. We want to become part of every listening experience. |
