My guess is they know there is a market for those that want to know what Brinker said on the show as David Korn proved. They also know that many might listen to football rather than the radio each weekend for "The Great One" to tell them when it is safe to get back in the pool when they can read a summary quickly to see if the "all clear" signal has been issued. They don't collect from advertisers if listeners read a summary rather than listen. So... ABC might yank their free summaries with a promise to do "something" in the future to save Brinker's face and never do anything as they know Brinker needs the show to cultivate a new crop of fools, I mean subscribers. The free summaries were there to get Brinker to calm down over the Korn Interpretations. Now that Brinker blew away most of his current subscribers with his bad TEFQX and QQQ advice, he needs the show to get a new batch... so he can't be as demanding. Well, he can be demanding, but he has far less ammo now.
