There are fundamental changes occuring, beware all those that do not embrace the cocoon. You know there is a difference between leadership and politics, guidance and self-interest. NAB may need to be replaced with something more cocoon friendly. Death might have been to strong a word, catepillars don’t die.

On the other hand, we have something of a skeletal model at One LR Plaza... We've never once said that these businesses are going to die. They're changing. Newspapers didn't die when radio came along, and radio and film didn't die when TV came along. Some local media outlets that don't keep up with the changes will go under or be sold cheap. You're seeing that already. But the industries as a whole are not going to die. The NAB can help the process of change in a way that is absolutely in the best interests of local media outlets. It starts by leading the charge into the new technologies - not by trying to force a change in the lexicon. Heck, I’m stunned we’re viable to begin with.

Will you transfer your focus to the internet and satellite new media that replaces it? I sure hope you will be around because I enjoy your spot on analysis of the broadcast industry and it doesn't look like they are gonna be here much longer. Steve,

I wrote that the NAB spin that it's no a merger is just that - spin. And if it's a monopoly - so what? The traditional monopolies were on goods and services people could'nt live without. We needed phones and competition for the best prices. We needed rail travel and competition there. Sat radio is not a necessity, it is a luxury good. If you don't like the price, don't buy it. Good rebuttal - how about the rest of my points? You're on the web and you read LR... aren't you troubled that your organization didn't touch on the power of the web?

Of course, I'm also not out there in Las Vegas, either. But it's hard to argue that the XM/Sirius merger would not create a monopoly -- of course it would. And because that monopoly competes at the national and regional market level, they can use that market power to hurt regional and local stations. You want NAB to represent its members? It certainly is. Hey, I work for the NAB and I’m on the Internet. Of course, I’m also not out there in Las Vegas, either.
