I'm reminded of Canadian broadcasters who for at least two or three 
decades have moaned loudly about how much money they lose, especially on 
their AM properties.  Yet somehow I have yet to hear of even a single AM 
station handing their license back to the government.

Dunno about you, but after 25 years of saying they're losing money I 
tend to think that:

a) Either these guys are about the worst business people that I have 
ever seen, and deserve to go bankrupt

b) Or they're not telling the truth.

I wish the government would change the laws of the land to ensure that I 
made a profit every year!
