WRKO drops Coast to Coast for Howie re-runs (1200 coming..)

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

At one time I worked for suburban station that was carrying a Premiere Radio
product that was in dispute with a nearby large market Clear Channel
station.

You see, we dropped the normal format (which was alost all Premire Radio
product) for 2 whole days to provide emergency uiformation, and being the
nice folks they are, they took the air producd we temporarily suspended to
serve our community. In the mind of a certain General Manager, we had dumped
the program entirely.

Apparently, Any Clear Channel station can take any Clear Channel or Premiere
Radio or affiliated show or product at anytime without prior notice, any
agreement, contract or notification. I even think,as they did down in the
North Carolina Triad, Clear Channel can yank their product of a competitors
station to put on their own, regardless of any contract a station might
have.
