From the conference calls a big problem is the decline in local car dealership advertising. It seems like the station is gorging on sports book gambling advertising. I doubt a single station would garner much of the gambling ad revenue. But I don’t know…

Gambling ad revenue won't go away but that isn't necessarily a silver lining. Gambling programming might be a huge problem. Caesar's foisting Trey Wingo upon us is only the beginning.

It will be like the show Deniro did in Casino.

i've seen enough of that Cesar's commerical with all the Mannings

Wasn't Cooper a teacher or something before he became royalty?

What a f'd up company. Should take 5 minutes not 7 months..

Is Fred retarded? The Score is not owned by paramount.

I think I found his plan on the Depart of Labor website. The CBS plan is now part of Paramount. It is called the CBS Radio Inc Pension Plan. But that plan only has 29 people in it. There is another plan that has tens of thousands called the CBS combined plan, also run by Paramount/Viacom.

He should be getting annual plan info from the administrators.

That's what threw me for a loop. Isn't he registered on their site to monitor his money? This is something you get on top of a year before you start tapping it. Understand everything thoroughly and if need be find answers way way in advance. Then Fred lost his wife and himself very sick so maybe he just put it off.

The underlying business is relatively healthy and has solid cash flow. It is just a case of too much financial leverage in building the empire.

The same week Audacy considers a reverse stock split, they face more bad news: the company’s auction for the domain name “Radio.com” through GoDaddy expired without a bid. Radio Ink‘s sister publication Radio + Television Business Report first broke news of the auction in December.

Audacy was asking for a minimum bid of $2.5 million, but even after more than one thousand views, no bid was made before the end date of March 28 at 9a ET. The auction has now been extended to June 26 at noon ET. The minimum price remains the same.

Jurko with a dig at the Score during Tom Thayer's first visit. Referring I'm sure to mandated Fields love, sjw clone hosts, and impending corporate bankruptcy, "You're with a legitimate sports station now".

Always wondered how the update guys like Fred and George did, North and a few other hosts were able to cash in and make some good paydays, but the reporters/update people likely did not a ton, and Fred was not born into money like Bernstein or Parkins.

Can see one of the gambling companies buying the station, but they likely make massive changes because they would not want on air staff insulting and belittling half of their potential customers every ten minutes. They also would have little interest in chasing the "smart fans" group because that is an almost statistically irrelevant portion of the potential audience.

You would think they would want local hosts drumming up interest in local teams/players to encourage people to pound the Fields over passing yards numbers and not wasting hour after hour after hour droning on and on about Tony La Russa.

The value of Audacy's stations is still more than their debt is.
