[BC] IBOC

[Mike Gideon]

Big money is just trying to make their radio stations better. They are not 
out to step on poor little you. I gotta go with Ron Castro. BUY YOUR own 
station, and prove everybody wrong. Contrary to the belief of some, the big 
boys did not get where they are by stealing from the little guys... they got 
there by being smart enough to grow what they had.
