I heard that this is why the Indians left FSN because Cablevision who is run/controlled by James Dolan sold out to fox and brother Larry who owns the tribe was not to happy with it. Could someone clear all of this up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1148408124302122112006-05-23T14:15:00.000-04:002006-05-23T14:15:00.000-04:00Re: Neil and Les - that's basically what we said i...Re: Neil and Les - that's basically what we said in the item itself.

He's done ALL of his radio and TV shows in a pseudo-barter, going back to his old WERE show about 14 years ago, through WHK, and up to the Adelphia thing now.<BR/><BR/>He buys the time for the show, and sells all his onw time on it. He keeps whatever he sells above and beyond what airtime costs. If you're a go-getter like Les is, and have as many connections as he does, it can be very lucrative.<BR/><BR/>I'm willing to bet that Neil Bender is learning a similar trait from Les. Could work well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1148327423622849372006-05-22T15:50:00.000-04:002006-05-22T15:50:00.000-04:00ONE FROM COLUMN B: Yes WPIC and WLLF still broadca...ONE FROM COLUMN B: Yes WPIC and WLLF still broadcast from pine hollow in Sharon. Unless things have changed they have not replaced the tower that came down as of yet. I have heard that rock 104 may go away due to low ratings. This is because the current on air staff just don't cut it and people are getting tired of them. Since Mo left rock 104 the station is becoming more and more like trash. Just take a quick listen and you will see my point nothing but Howard Stern rejects and Mo wantabees who's talent is quentionable. Part of the reason Loboy went back to Hot 101 was because of the mess that Rock 104 has become. As for 101.9 beinging LMA to cummulus that was for a brief time before clear channel stepped in and cummulus bought connorsuar communications (WHOT0. I am not shocked that the website has not been updated since cummulus runs on nickels and dimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1148326811614005832006-05-22T15:40:00.000-04:002006-05-22T15:40:00.000-04:00great points on Drennan.
