    The most conservative big city in America, by ten lengths . . .

    word is the word came from clear channel hq in san antonio rather than from the folks in cincy

    And with Clear Channel supposedly up for sale, some thought that the firing may have been motivated by that. Plus Clear Channel owns the rights to Bengals games

    What's weird is the city itself is a pretty typical Democrat-leaning urban area. But the suburbs? It's appropriate Cincinnati has the Reds.
     
  5. Cincy is the most northern southern city and the most southern northern city. And it has all the good and bad that entails.

    But Peter Frampton lives there, so it can't be all bad.

    Clear Channel's association speaks volumes.
     
  7. That because they send all the sin to Covington.

    I mean, if we didn't learn anything else from the O.J. trial, it's that we shouldn't take anything Mark Fuhrman says seriously.[/emilylitella]

    Too laid back. Johnny Fever would be a much better fit.

    Agree on the Clear Channel influence. Not saying Furman should or shouldn't have been fired if this was 30 years ago and the giant companies didn't exist, but they'll cut bait in a hurry nowadays if certain lines are crossed.
