Yes.  As I told the GM at R&R Broadcasting, talent is an INVESTMENT, not an
EXPENSE.  What if all those sports teams decided to eliminate all of their
multi-million-dollar athletes and hire people for $10 an hour to knock a
ball around?  Just think of all the money they could save!  Think of all the
empty stadiums!  (Stadia?)  If radio stations really wanted to save a lot of
money, they could turn off their transmitters.
