WPPGY a huge British based ad firm with a big USA presence was up 1.5 today. Can't therefore say that advertisers in general were all down today, just the media broadcast companies.

So John, are you suggesting that radio investors might view CBS as a safer radio play than others ? Thus a flight to quality-like movement ? Oh, just read USA-Today and they have this nice Disney write up. What caught my eye was Eisner pointing out the possibilities of HDTV multi-casting mode. In the article he suggest that ABC could offer maybe 6 differnt programs in their assigned digital spectrum and maybe even compete with cable ! Actually, guys I wish you would read this article as that multi-casting aspect of digital TV is a hidden gem. Thanks
