Broadcasting and Cable reports that PBS’s Now with Bill Moyers is ‘ is said to be working on a piece about “business models and vertical integration” in the radio business,” which apparently will include Clear Channel, the nation’s largest radio station owner, which now also owns artist/music and concert promotion companies. I’d say that any investigation worth a damn would have to investigate Clear Channel. I wonder how well such a piece will stand with the suits at PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting who have a vested interest in not rocking the big communications boat. Luckily, the oil companies — some of PBS’s biggest advertisers…. er, contributors — likely don’t give a shite.
