>This is from larp.com 12/23
>Coburn Owns Rockline. As of January 1, 2003, Bob Coburn, host of
>nationally syndicated “Rockline,” will be the new owner of the program.
>He purchased the show from Premiere Radio Networks for an undisclosed
>amount. The show will continue to broadcast on Mondays and Wednesdays
>from the same studio in Los Angeles.
>“As the longtime host of Rockline, it’s natural to purchase the program
>myself,” said Bob. “I heard over and over the past few weeks that
>Rockline is a big part of the world of Rock and Roll. I’m excited at the
>prospect of making the show even bigger and better than ever.” Kraig T.
>Kitchin, president/coo of Premiere Radio Networks stated, “Few people
>have the passion and the ability to see Rockline continue to thrive –
>Bob Coburn is one of them. We’ve heard from radio that they want
>Rockline to continue and it will be in very capable hands.”
>
>I couldn't find the article on larp.com myself for what it's worth.

>theory.....Rockline was distributed and owned by Premeir Radio Network,
>which is a subsidary of Clear Channel, the most money grubbing radio
>company in the United States. They probably decided it was not
>profitable
>enoguh...........it's sad. That was one of the best nationally

>Hopefully another radio company will pick it up. Westwood One are you
