Somewhat OT: Times Co. threatens to shutter Boston Globe.

[Sean Smyth]

I know it doesn't directly relate to radio, but it does relate to media in the market: The New York Times Co. says if unions don't cooperate with concessions, The Boston Globe will shut down.

This may not happen, since the unions seem willing to save jobs at this point. 

If it did, how do you think advertising in the radio/TV market would be affected? Would local newscasts gather from an influx of ad dollars? IMHO, no.
