I love it. 14,000 stations. A few of them change format and a 
newspaper staff writer declares Rock is dead on radio. I'm not sure 
why they care. They've already declared radio dead in favor of iPods 
and Internet streams.

Strangely, only NPR has done stories on the death of major market 
newspapers. The death of newspapers is an avalanche. Not just a slide.
