Greater Media statement supporting Howie's appeal

[David Tomm]

Greater Media wants some closure here.   They need to know whether  
Howie will be part of their long term plans or not.  WTKK's ratings are  
dropping like a stone with Crackers on in the morning and they need to  
get the ship righted.  If Howie is indeed stuck, GM can bring back Imus  
if need be, but that's the fallback plan.  They're simply trying to  
force Entercom's hand, but I don't think the suits at the sneaker  
building are budging on this one, at least not yet.  They were patient  
with the Dennis and Callahan situation, and eventually David Field got  
involved at crunch time.  I'd expect the same thing to happen here.
