"...each time you start somewhere new...you have to pay your dues all over again every time. There is no such thing as resting on your laurels." Fred Winston

From the Rick Kaempfer interview with Fred. You'll find it here. Bravo Rick! Thanks Fred; I'm honored by your kind words.

Congrats & cheers: Radio & Records News Talk winners. Kraig Kitchin, Gabe Hobbs, Mickey Luckoff, Joel Oxley, Jack Swanson, Steve Jones, KFI, KGO, WLW, Bill Handel and Rush. Kudos: To Erica Farber, Al Peterson and team R&R on what everyone tells me was a very good show.

Barry's latest bet: My favorite media mogul, Barry Diller, may be about to announce a jv with Dow Jones. The buzz is they will develop a fresh approach to the finance and investment web space with David Kansas, of thestreet.com fame, leading the new initiative. Smart, very smart.
