...I don't know...is Westwood One a publicly traded company? Put all your money into Westwood One 'cause they don't spend a goddamn penny on ANYTHING around here! Such a piece of crap this place!!!"

---Adam Carolla

How ironic that it is known as 'WON' in the market.

Yes, Mike, it is ironic --- if Adam were in charge of creating ticker symbols, it would be 'NONE.'

I think he'd love the irony that they are known to the business world by "WON"
How would he respond? Probably another rant about how cheap and horribly run the whole company is. I liked his description about how he wish there was a big crater where the station once stood, and what he'd do in it ; )
