I've been thinking... KBCO (the clear channel version) probably has only 800-1000 songs in heavy rotation.  Maybe another 1000 in their back pocket.  And the vast majority of those songs don't change for years.  So, for a couple grand, I could BUY the station.  I mean, who needs all those transmitters and DJs and such?  Many radio stations don't even make a profit.  But I could listen to KBCO commercial-free forever.  I could "share" my iTunes version of KBCO with my entire office. 

It makes you wonder about leverage in the digital age.  I mean, a radio station is basically 800-1000 songs with a bunch of plumbing and contests and stock investing advertisements crammed in between them.  My iPod is just that without the ads.  You can buy the vast majority of a major radio station's "intellectual property" for the price of a cheap used car.  I know that's not profound.  But, that's weird.  Isn't it?
