[BC] Dial-Global Will Make Progressive Radio Work

[Mike McCarthy]

Ed's show is a train wreck technically.

Their national breaks leave a gap when the local spots start and then 
rejoin the cover spots with 1-5 seconds left on them.  We've been bugging 
DG since September to fix and they say it's an Ed/Fargo/at the source 
problem.  It's so bad we tempted to record Ed and play Tomm Hartman 
live.  Just AWFUL production.

With Ed angling to move the show to Washington, I wonder if he's is not 
shopping the show to someone other than DG....and THAT"s why they're 
dragging their feet.
