www.americanradiohistory.com Station Owners & Executives: Don't Miss This Money- Making, Revoutionary Opportunity... I A new American radio forum is emerging

You can help make it happen

America is in need of a new, dynamic, and intelligent talk radio forum. One that will include nationally and internationally known personalities whose viewpoints are tempered with wisdom, knowledge, insight, and unbiased thinking. This new forum will give America an alternative to the kind of reporting and coverage that we are exposed to every day, and serve to focus our collective consciousness upon values that are moral, honest, decent, and imperishable. In short, it will be intelligent radio and, unlike N.P.R., it will be balanced. To accomplish this task, we're seeking to develop several LMAs with interested station owners across the country. We can offer advance payment or discuss equity sharing with responding representatives. We're a leading communications company with a diversified service portfolio, and intent upon expanding our presence in our nation's talk radio industry. Our vision for the future of talk radio is one that you can help bring to fruition. For more information, please contact us toll-free at 1 -888- 205 -6376.

Learn more about how you can help launch America's next great radio forum. We believe it's what our country needs. We hope you feel the same way.
