I would prefer not to disclose the company on this board, but its one of the 3 biggest companys in America. Mass ownership has its pro and cons, In mass ownership you see alot more National Contesting (ie: most of the big stuff stations give away is Nationwide within the company only 1 winner in the US) Outside the market voicetracking which tends to loose the local flavor of the station. The pay tends to be less with the biggest companies, but the equiptment and resources are much better. More people are held accountable for different things within the station. Local companies tend to pay better but the quality is sometimes poor and the management is less likely to get the best and most up to date equiptment, I've worked for Clear Channel, and I've worked for small local companies, Clear Channel really was a great working environment for me....There are many other things but those are the biggest...
