That is a revisionist version of history.  8 years ago CC as we now know 
it did not exist. If you look back, CC stations with big stations like 
WOAI. Then then merged with Jacor which had large medium and some small 
stations. It was AM FM that bought a large number of small stations ( 
and bought Prophet). They merged with Chancellor Media Corp which was a 
merger of Chancellor Broadcasting and Evergreen. It was only after all 
that happened, that the final Clear Channel merger came along and made 
it the Giant Company it is today. Those small stations were already there.
