[BC] Sad demise of WRAN

[Dana Puopolo]

Bob Sillerman really screwed Brucie too. I worked for them as a contractor on
Cape Cod until I realized that they never paid their bills. The GM there was a
good guy and tried to ge tme paid. Eventually I went COD and that ended the
relationship.

Bruce was a great guy....it was Sillerman who was the creep.

"Cousin Brucie" couldn't make that station successful<<

Cousin Brucie was a success as an air personality, and not (by his own
admission) as a businessman.  He got out because he hated it.  In fact, he
stated quite plainly in his memoirs that he and Dan Ingram, who was on the air
right before him at WABC, used to make fun of what he had become as an owner.
