Mark, if they are buying the stations, why would they need to sell them to
Jacor, which I see as nothing more then the Rush Limbaugh network.  I think
they may be able to come in and revamp these stations to a higher ratings.
Maybe we should all wait to see what happens instead of promoting untrue
rumors!
