GOOD RIDDANCE TMO!!


Newsflash The equity draining (READ: lifeblood sapping) media profiteers have cast
off the dried husks of what were once viable and vibrant broadcast
entities :


BUSINESSTALKRADIO.NET, INC. PURCHASES THREE MORE STATIONS
The sale of Long Island stations WLIR-FM(107.1), WBON-FM(98.5) and

WDRE-FM( 105.3) to BusinessTalkRadio.net, Inc. has been announced.

The
announcement was made by Michael L. Metter, President and CEO of
Business TalkRadio.net, Inc. and Ronald Morey, Founder of The Morey
Organization and Jarad Broadcasting.

“I am very excited about this latest acquisition,” Metter said.

“Having
grown up in the NY City area, I was weaned on the heritage cutting edge
rock station WLIR-FM and in later years was an avid fan of the former
modern rock format of WDRE-FM.

Many groups got their start on
WLIR-FM and just as it was the showcase for new talent in the past, we
expect to make that happen again,” he said.

“It is a great
opportunity to enhance the formats and develop new cutting edge
programming to syndicate nationally, with the stations being the
flagship for these new shows.

“This continues to expand our business model of interesting and unique programming throughout the country,”he added.

“Ron
Morey is a very talented radio executive who has done a great job in
building premiere radio properties and we hope to take them to the next
level,” Metter said.

Metter added that the company will LMA
WBON-FM with the company’s business and lifestyle formats as of Janaury
1. The other stations will follow with LMA’s March 1, until the
acquisition is approved by the FCC.

Thanx for the heads up Cee!
