Who brought you to WBZ?

[Kevin Vahey]

Paul I am happy for your situation.

In Boston now there is no local ownership with TV ( WGBH is exempt from
this discussion )

Radio you can make a case that Greater Media is locally owned and the
people I know who work for them are happy.

CBS and Entercom are simply clusters that out of town owners look at.

It is brutal out there.
