Re: WBUR Connection

[Richard Chonak <rac@gabriel.cambridge.ma.us>]

There is a precedent for a syndicated WBUR program owned by the on-air 
talent.

"Car Talk" was originally announced as a production of WBUR, but after a
few years on NPR it became a production of "Dewey, Cheetham & Howe", a
real company owned by Messrs. Magliozzi, with offices at 5 JFK St.,
#304, Cambridge.  The last time I noticed, you could see the name
painted on an upstairs window across the street from Cardullo's.

Did Click and Clack get ownership of their program on Jane Christo's
watch? If so, she'd have an extra reason to not let this one get away.

Does anyone think that Lydon + co.'s demand for majority ownership is a
negotiating position?
