[Fmpro] Belling the Cat - Commercials

[leshurdle]

I'll pay $1k to put them back ! ;-)

Pete,

If you don't think all music is equal, then there must be good  
reason........ what is it?
Please be very specific in your reasoning via the money trail from  
negotiation[s] to broadcaster payment to distribution.

The statement you make in the last para is the very 'mis-information'  
DW goes on about......... where are your factual figures old buddy?

How about if the millions diverted to Network from Local TV were left  
where it belonged........ don't forget to factor that in to your  
equation above.

Best

Les
