Actually, I was alluding to the fact that they were all relatively
small group owners with a strong connection to the specific market in
which they kept their original radio-TV combos -- you could certainly
say that about Fisher and Hubbard as well.  It's perhaps particularly
instructive when you consider that Hearst sold off *all* their radio
properties, with the exception of WBAL/WIYY.  I believe that's true of
a number of the other operators on the list.  (Did Tribune ever own
radio outside Chicago?  I have a bit set that they did, but it could
just be cosmic rays.)

If you go back about fifteen years, before all the big group roll-ups,
there were a good number more, in similar situations.
