[BC] What is our business...

[Burt I. Weiner]

The answer is simple.  We are in the technical side of show 
business.  Plain and simple.  Show business is all about content.  It 
is our job to transport the content to the public.  People do not 
tune in to listen to our transmitters.  They tune in for the content 
- nothing more.  If you doubt that, try putting a tone on for a day 
and see how many people write in about how nice and pure the tone is.
