Remember, it isn't real money. It's distressed inventory. Think of it 
as trade, though you can bet the HD Dominion is being paid along with 
the ad agency "with many large clients" and the puff release people.

In one of today's trade "papers" the ad agency tried to defend the 
anti-radio radio spots with the admission that their job is to sell 
IBUZ receivers, not to benefit the industry.

It's interesting that Entercom refused to run XM spots for the same 
reason. The spots badmouthed radio and XM expected stations to run 
them. I wonder how many stations are actually running these spots.
