Curious Hair:

You did see the ratings where they lost October, lost November, and tied December right? M&H get a 3.6 rating and B&B get a 1.8 rating. When half of your morning drive audience moves to another station for the afternoon drive, you have a problem with your afternoon show. Especially when your highest paid host is on that afternoon show.

As a return on investment, B&B's salary doesn't seem to paying off for 670.

Agreed. Mike doesn't seem like a welcher.

Scorehead would say $1,000 worth and then not pay it.

The declining revenues are a key concern. I spoke with a guy who used to be in the sales department and he said the WXRT/WSCR dynamic didn't make much sense from a sales rep standpoint. He scoffed at the notion that the two were "paired" while the other stations weren't. I also spoke with a woman who brokers national Ad buys and she said that business is good but putting the right Ads with the right audience was the key component to her success.

I guess you could trim a salary or two here or there but CBS Chicago revenues were over $130M, so shaving a half-mil on a contract or going with recession raises doesn't mean that much if the station loses another $3.5M in revenue (as has been the trend).

I know we like to think of our little slice of CBS-Chicago as being the most relevant but the new bosses are looking a different and bigger picture. Sports talk radio as a segment is relatively flat in its listeners, so the emphasis has to be on getting more revenue from the same. I don't know what CBS paid for the Cubs but that could be the cash cow that Zim was banking on before someone figured that revenue performance could be better.

I don't think so either. You're dealing with two stations whose Time Spent Listening is sky-high. Why not just buy one or the other?

The point on declining revenues is one that is dead on. Especially when daily fantasy buys were such a large part of 2015 and are not likely to be in their future.

Political ad buys will probably help 2016, but with gerrymandering and Illinois/Indiana basically already colored blue/red, how much buying will you see for major races given the lack of competitiveness. If you're in Ohio, 2016 is a gold mine. Not so in Chicago.

Nobody plays fantasy anymore, it's too crowded.

dan and bring back jonathan davis for afternoons.

so nobody plays because everybody plays?
