"Big World"

Clear Channel owns most of the airwaves. At the beginning of the article, I did not like the issue with Agnew and Clear Channel. I do not think one company should own most of the airwaves, and how they can make up a price for advertisements. When one company owns most of the radio stations, they can make advertisers pay whatever they want because advertisers do not have a choice if they want their advertisements to be heard by everyone. It also can make for radio to become very bias because it is all the same company's opinions.
The only good thing I read in the article is that it makes it easy for managers of bands to put on a tour across the country. If Clear Channel owns most of the amphitheatres, by making one phone call to Clear Channel, you can book your tour across the country. The bad thing, just like with advertisers, is that they can give you any price they want, but this is better than having to call mulitple companies and booking.
