Although there certainly has been no lack of commercials, once in a while someone's not on the ball at WSYR and forgets to cut out the syndicator feed when running the local stuff and plays both simultaneously.

When 2009 covenants can’t be met, taxpayer owned (or owed) banks should seize the stations and/or groups which they funded and transfer the facilities in FCC sanctioned public auctions to local interests. In such transactions, former employees would receive special consideration, including the opportunity to be considered for SBA Federal loans, to not only gain control, but participate in common, community oriented ownership.

Details to be determined.

Nothing to it but to do it.
