: : Not the least bit surprising. Can't be Entercom. They've not had live overnights for over 5 years now. I know. I used to track the overnights on one of the local stations.

: BUT this article actually was about the death of NIGHTS (as in primetime 7-mid). i can't wait to see who is behind the hidden memo.
I heard Cumulus may actually be behind this one, though not 100% sure.
