Re: Herald: Is WWZN dragging down SNR?

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

The storyi in SportsBuisnessJournal (;une 8th issue) says they have 430 
stations on board.

The naming rights deal gives Century 21 2 10 sec spots at the hour and 
30 min mark...one 30 sec spot on each local station and print ads in 
TSN.

The value of the deal is low to mid seven figures.

The studio complex is in Northbrook, Illinois.

SNR has very little going for it, losing Bill Parcells and Will 
McDonough makes moot the one real selling point they had.
