Another company goes down the drain

What did Limbaugh have to with it....geezus even the first sentence of your link questions it!

But stuff like that doesn't matter to you does it? Pathetic .... hate's gonna eat you up.
 
Hate Limbaugh, that would take energy and consideration,

I read 300 words a minute Boca, this passed under my nose, thought those who support him MIGHT be interested.

I certainly am not.

You're right. You actually had to go to the second sentence to answer your question "what did Limbaugh have to do with it?"

But Dial says in an SEC filing that “advertisers’ response to controversial statements by a certain nationally syndicated talk radio personality in March 2012″ contributed to financial woes that raise “substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.” The March date coincides with an advertiser boycott of Limbaugh following his attacks on Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke, who urged Congress to require employer health insurance plans to cover contraception.
 
Causal effect, guess that's a hart concept to some, it has to be plated in Platinum, and triple notarized for them to even consider the cause.

But, then again, that can be fatal; they ignored polling during this election season, and swallow the liquid heroin being offered to them by Bull-shit Mountain.

Speaking of the News network that is spare and unbalanced, I hear Murdock has gotten himself into some hot water this morning, with his tweets about Israel and the press.

He's charging that "Jewish owned media" attacks Israel, isn't that another dog whistle? what's Murdock now?

An extreme and bull goose loony leftist?

I can't stand them either.

on a related note, Clear Channel is quietly dumping their conservative talking heads. who's bleeding Clear Channel? Bain Capital.

I find this news quite heartening...and perhaps educational.

Key lines...


partially owned by Bain Capital

Debt-ridden Clear Channel

Obviously they are trying to pay down their monster debt with Bain Capital

Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners, two private-equity firms, finalized their $26.7 billion purchase of Clear Channel in July, 2008, loading the company with debt.

the company had $16.4 billion in debt.

The company’s debt must be repaid throughout the decade and comes due as soon as 2014

it would have looked bad for Mr. Romney if his former company fired Clear Channel’s workers en masse.


But with all the Bain created debt...the true happiness in the tale lies here:

In the 25-to-54 age range, Mr. Wilson’s show also ranked 11th, bringing in about 10,200 listeners. Those listeners make up less than 1 percent of the market in the Toledo area.

Hate radio isn't selling very well anymore.
 
I hate Clear Channel. They own the progressive talk station here in Portland Oregon, and to generate more money, they switched it to FOX Sports. They still let their other stations in the area broadcast right-wing drivel, however. If talk radio is dying, then Clear Channel is dying too.

They have been a bane to radio all over the nation.

This tale shows how Bain...and other private equity firms truly operate. It's right there for all to see. They will, as you said, eat their own, if profits are involved. Bain is literally going to be the death of Clear Channel, a major player in the Conservative Entertainment Complex.

It's quite the elegant suicide.

More of CC's poor decision making...

...And yet Clear Channel, the conservative-friendly media behemoth with a soft spot for right-wing radio, just doubled Beck's deal to a reported $100 million, while the struggling company remains buried under an eleven-figure mountain of debt.

Yeah, I read that....did Dial advertise with Limbaugh? If so it makes sense. However the first sentence says it isn't clear, so that must not be the case. If they didn't advertise with him then it makes no sense.
apparently our [edited] didn't see the contradiction. Seems you didn't either.

no one in Toledo respected Libertarian whacko Brian Wilson.....he pretended to be local, but was broadcasting from two states away. even our repub leaders kicked him after he was fired.
 
It only says he "contributed" to the problem and describes what his contribution was. I didn't find that confusing. Rush is part of the problem. What's new? He's never been a part of the solution for anything.

"Easily confused" would be the understatement of the Century in this case. ;)
 
If they clap their hands three times and shout I believe, I believe, I BELIEVE!

maybe it will come true, the truth is?

Free market principles ruled here, everything that the right "supposidly" embraces,

This company makes reference to an incident in "march" that incident was Rush Limbaugh calling women on birth control "SLVTS" that's what he did, and now the right can parse it and wordsmith it, all they want.

The immediate and overwhelming reaction was the boycotting of companies that advertised on Rush's station, which is revenue for the broadcasters.

That became a serious matter, you can't sustain without advertisement, ask the Political Jack guys, they can tell you.

And when advertisers withdraw their fortunes from the affliates, it affects the bottom line.

The bottom line shows that the mechanics of free market principle worked here.

Otherwise, it's fascism, if you do not "listen" to those who are withdrawing their support, you deny the right of the private sector to protect their "own bottom line" which means SOMEONE has to step in and support, and it ain't the consumer in these cases.

What these people are seeing are every single one of their principles in empirical action.

And they "don't like it, not one bit"

And my summation?

Tough Sh-it

It's analogous to PJ cleaning up this front "page" called latest posts, so the advertisers are not "adverse" to paying for time here.

Very simple
