Re: Herald: Is WWZN dragging down SNR?

["Kevin Vahey" <kvahey@tmail.com>]

SNR is hurting so badly thay just sold the name of their studios in 
Chicago to Century 21.
SNR claims they are the largest full time radio network in the country.

Down the road I could see Disney buying 1510 for ESPN radio if the 
discount was right but I suspect WWZN as we know it will not be around 
come fall. One can argue that WWZN spent more for the least amount of 
listeners in Boston history.
