I've suggested that the teams' ownership become a player in acquiring a radio property. Yet, I find find little thought on this perspective. Why am I wrong?
It's a great idea. The LA Dodgers are part owners of KLAC with iHeart. It's a similar discussion to a team owning its stadium, or having it owned by the city. Does a team want to get into ownership, which means paying the cost, and pocketing the profit. Or having someone else pay you a rights fee. Most teams prefer to get paid the rights fee.
