[BC] WalMart to get IBUZ radios

[engineermike]

We now have 5 stations in Knoxville running HD but it's only been for a couple 
weeks now.  Prior to that there was only one and that was me.  We have contacted 
a few stores but have not had the time to start a push yet.  One of the Radio 
Shack managers aside he would get some in stock as soon as he could and that the 
only reason they hadn't been ordered was he was unaware that there were any HD 
stations in the market.  I guess we just have to be better promoters.
Later
Mike
