Keep up the great work.
I do some work with NAB, and I think that people have the wrong idea about so-called media "consolidation." A lot of people don't understand that local TV and radio stations (especially in rural parts of the country) are under tremendous pressure from new media and the Internet. Without the blessing of corporate resources, many of these local stations would not be afloat.
