[BC] What is our business...

[Douglas B. Pritchett]

Burt, speak for yourself (humor added). Coming from the perspective of 
ownership, I have to say I'm on both sides. I've got to offer a 
compelling and entertaining product and I've got to get it to the market 
in a reliable and easy to access manner. If I falter on either point, 
I'm screwed. Add to that, I have to use that compelling and entertaining 
content to generate revenue to sustain that service. Most of the 
talented and successful people on this forum (and that absolutely 
includes you, Burt) are experts in your areas, but also have a deep, 
working knowledge of the related aspects of the business. We are, after 
all, broadcasters. That is our business.
