Good point Jon.
What deep pocket is left that wouldn't have conflicts with maxing out their existing market ownerships (2 AM/2 FM).
If I ever won the MaxMillions, I'd be glad to piss it all away buying a Corus cluster or two.
If anything, Shaw's offer signals an end of sorts, a big corporation shedding its least-profitable property.
I can only imagine a handful of former Corus stations surviving five years post-sale, with a lot a frequencies going dark.
Remember that about 8 or 9 years ago Shaw said they weren't interested in mobile service, selling off frequencies that allowed for the arrival of Wind.
Ironic then that Shaw bought Wind, re-branding it as Freedom, leading to the necessary sale of Corus to inject cash to make up for lost time.
Long live radio. Sigh.
