Among other effects, the bankruptcy prompted Cumulus to cancel money-losing contracts to broadcast Chicago White Sox baseball and Chicago Bulls basketball on news/talk WLS 890-AM, and to sever ties with Erich Mancow Muller, morning personality on former classic rock WLUP 97.9-FM. Other staff cuts followed.
The fucking CFO of Cummulus put out a company wide memo last year begging Sales Reps to start pushing subscriptions on their friends & family...
It was fucking pathetic.
Q4 - company reported a net loss of $204M in revenue - down $93M from Q4 previous year. And their bottom line, $47m - was down 13 fucking percent from Q4 2016.
SXM managed $542M bottom line on $1.4B in same quarter. Grew 13%.
If SXM can thrive....you know Westwood One is ran by a bunch of fucking fool's.
Opie Hughes is breathing new life into Westwood One and will build the podcast network from the ground up. I wish him nothin but da best to be hawnest witcha.
There is no way they r paying him a salary. Only way he gets money is if he can bring in sponsorships. Which i dont understand why he needed Westwood one. I think he was just trying to prove a point to us that he could get with another company

Don't they do NFL games on the radio? I'm pretty sure they do either Monday or Sunday night games on wfan or espn. Seems like that would be good

Even an incompetent bankrupt company doesn't want to give Opie a real radio show.

We're basically an ex-girlfriend and he's doing his best to show us he don't need us.
