Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey is on the cover of the April 4th issue of Radio Ink magazine. It's our annual NAB issue which also features 16 pages devoted to Tech Ink. Tech Ink is written by industry vet Judith Gross. Dickey gives Radio Ink all the details about his run at Citadel that eventually ended in his win column. He also discusses his play for the ABC radio stations which, at the time, did not go so well. ABC eventually winds up as part of Citadel. In the end Dickey and the Cumulus team get ABC and Citadel for less than the price Citadel paid for ABC. It's an interesting look at the radio business at the highest level and we'll tell you all about it in our April 4th issue. |

Citadel reports Q4 earnings on Wednesday, March 30th. It'll be the first time the radio public will hear from CEO Fareed Suleman since the deal with Cumulus was announced. Suleman - and the entire Citadel board - have been silent since Lew Dickey swooped up the once bankrupt radio company. It's understandable. They have been painted as radio's example of "corporate greed and dishonesty". |
