Numerous news reports at the time of Infinity's purchase of WZLX (at the dawn of
the duopoly era) noted Infinity allegedly "promised" not to put Stern on WZLX
in order to curry favor with the (then-more-active) FCC commissioners. At the
time (we're still talking the Bush 41 administration) there was one
commissioner (Aiello?) who was more strongly anti-Stern than Michael Powell
could ever hope to be.
