Yes, some 400 stations in smaller markets will be spun off.  Mine is among
them and I'm a bit concerned about whom will end up with.  I won't get into
discussing clear Channel's real or imagined sins but they were quite willing
to solve access problems for me.  A smaller company may not be so willing to
do so but we'll see.  No use courting trouble, I guess.  At any rate, we've
heard it will be at least 6 months before something happens and, in my
experience, it usually takes at least twice as long as they predict.

Of course,  like howard, I could end up with more time for ham radio. Lou
