Look at the summer book for WCBS in New York City. That should tell you.

A friend of mine from Infinity e-mailed me, "Without giving away any company secrets, our reaction to Free FM has been "What???". <P ID="signature">______________

Or look at the last time Infinity tried FM talk in NYC...WNEW-FM struggled to get a 1 share! Most of INFs Talk FMs have been failures, with only Howard Stern pulling ratings and revenue. Now INF is going to try to pull off a Stern-less FM talk network? How can they be so naive to think it will be successful?

I also wouldn't be surprised if all their regional Stern replacements fail. I wasn't a big Howard fan personally, but he is the ONLY national morning show who can pull numbers. Other than Stern, local will always beat national on FM radio.
