W-O-W. This says a lot about the state of radio right now.
I don't know what Metro pays its staffers, but I know CC pays 10 an hr for both producers and on-air reporters.
: WLS changing lanes
: * * In what's being billed as a momentous alliance among Chicago radio stations, Clear Channel Radio's traffic division has signed up two local outlets owned by Citadel Broadcasting.
: Starting Oct. 1, Total Traffic Network will provide traffic to Citadel's news/talk WLS-AM (890) and oldies WLS-FM (94.7).
: The two stations have been clients of Metro Networks/ Shadow Broadcast Services for three decades.
: "It's a great deal and a great partnership for both of us," said Mike Fowler, president and general manager of WLS, who made the agreement with Earl Jones, president and market manager of Clear Channel Radio Chicago.
: In addition to serving Clear Channel's stations here, Total Traffic Network also reports for Univision Radio Chicago and Fox-owned WFLD-Channel 32.
