re: #197 Targetpractice

He’s pretty much burned all the bridges he can. He not only essentially called on his own listeners to boycott the businesses which have pulled their ads, he’s also made it clear that any financial hardship on the part of local affiliates due to his ego are not his concern.

I really do wonder how much longer Clear Channel can allow this to go on.

He’s trying to put up a brave face (I saw an article somewhere yesterday where he claimed that losing 50 advertisers was nothing because he has 18,000 advertisers - which is so far removed from reality I can’t believe he said it), but if your flagship station is running minutes of dead air where there should be ads, you’re in fucking trouble.

The Mays family might bankroll this charade for a while in hopes that some advertisers come back, but they’re not going to subsidize this guy’s show and honor that $400 million deal for long.
