If only he'd hired some beancounters to look after the finances.  :-/

Well, there's JJ Jeffrey (WRKO, WMEX, I think he might have worked at 
WFIL & WLS too).  Started Fuller-Jeffrey Broadcasting in the 70s with 
fellow former WMEX jock "Doc" Fuller.  Among other stations they 
owned WOKQ in N.H. and WBLM in Maine (powerhouse heritage country & 
AOR respectively).  He's sold those (undoubtedly at a nice profit), 
and currently owns a handful of Portland, Me. rimshots.
