CCU owns a bunch of TV stations.  It has been speculated that CCU
probably does not want to keep AK's TV properties, and will likely
spin them rather than having to spin radio properties in those upstate
N.Y. markets.  (The real prize is the outdoor-advertising market,
which CCU and Viacom will effectively duopolize after this deal.)
