  1. Less liquidity for a company that’s bleeding cash, daily! Mr. McVay has done nothing but bring back his OLD radio buddies, or promote re-treads. John Dickey was a problem, but McVay is going to make him look like Santa Claus when he’s finished scratching the backs of all his old time radio buddies… not to mention the unprofessional issues that are starting to surface. Mrs. Mary will eventually smell the rat.
