he said let's get the local broadcast station and that is what we do. and why i think we have a durable place going forward with american telecommunication. >> host: here to help us dive into the issues and amir nasa of morning council. >> i am curious what some of the areas are broadcasters are looking for them to potentially to reverse the bans on sales agreements. >> that would be a perfect example. the fcc under past chairmans have allowed huge mergers. at&t and time warner or comcast and charter. and yet they have this fixation of one ownership of two stations in topeka, kansas is going doob anti-competitive. i think two stations having joint sales to sell advertising together for economies of scale -- when you compare those two things one is prohibited and the other is allowed. it makes no sense at all. i think all three of the commissioners understand. i am excited and really appreciative which chairman put on the march calendar to take up atfc 3.0 and a.m. revitalization. that transistor radio he had as a boy he is trying to help had am radio. b

accessible muni platform and walkway and head house that would connect to the bart station. we have an illustration of the base project here, so the transportation authority has allocated 2.2 in prop k and 1.9 in program transportation funds to the project since 2010. the work that bart is requesting funds for today would improve the appearance and comfort of the station by refitting glass window ins the clear storey, as you can see illustrated, where there's currently deteriorating opaque panel, this will increase natural light nr the station as the original design intended. the additional scope will also construct a new ceiling and light ining the concourse of the station. this work package was a contract option in the contract to do the base project and was authorized by the bart board subject to finding availability, so now prop k is able to leverage other sources including measure r-r bond funds that were passed by the voters in november and some state funds to get it done and the entire project will be open for use by june, 2018. and with that, i can take any questions

but is he the exception or is he >> when you look at station managers all station managers are not the same. that's how you explain it. all of them are not the same. all of them don't do the same thing. all of them are not like me. i believe i'm the best. >> but i believe you were not chosen at random too. >> good point. in order to get access to paul and mr. ozzy we had to go through metro media relations. metro manager sherry lee anticipate ranged who we would visit and what. so i set out one random afternoon and road the red and green line for about two hours popping out at different stations to see what was going on in the booth. each station i hit there was at least one manager working in the booth. and here at gallery place one giving directions to customers to get them situated. i was in the stations for a couple of hours. and didn't see any of them sleeping or screwing around. at don't exist. >> i don't want the public to get the idea that you run into one and all of the rest of them are like that. no, no, no. >> thank you so much for your time. i really enjoyed meeting you. >>

it was a totally dead station.n movies where it gets solved instantly by some brainy chap. it took about six hours. we used the spacecraft and fired the jet to stop the space station tumbling and rolling. and then, wonderfully, we came into sunlight after this. and all of a sudden the fa ns started after this. and all of a sudden the fans started to come on, and the lights came on, and i said, we have done it. however? however, for the next month the station was inoperable in the normal sense, it could sustain our lives and nothing else. when finally the shuttle came in october i was really quite happy to see them. and as we backed away from the mir station i looked at it and thought, i don't really mind if i don't ever see that again! nasa astronaut ' "’ ’ i don't ever see that again! nasa astronaut’ ' "’ ’ in december shocked 1999 boris yeltsin shocked russia and the worlds by announcing his resignation on new year's eve. he played a key role in bringing down the soviet union that later became a controversial fig

but the economic9 of a radio station haven't changed. and all i know is this in front of radio stations, you have a lineup of people wanting us to play their stuff. now, it's hard to go out and sell ads and to create the business, the economic bees to -- the economics to play their ad. there's always been this we get the play, and they get the promotion. we don't charge them for advertising. we appreciate their content because it lets us advertise and gets people listening to our stations and then, hopefully, some of our ads so that we can move some commerce in this, in this economy. it's an important feature of the listening of 260 million americans every week who tune in to am or fm radio. and so, you know, there's a lot at stake here. i'm not unsympathetic to their business model being broken, but i also don't want to bankrupt radio or compromise their economics to stay this business or force them all into talk radio or something. because we make just as the streaming platforms, very few people making any money in streaming. and the e

it is a busy bart station. we have seen a handful of workers out here. i'm told they're doing testing on the tracks, trying to get it open for trains and passengers after months of delays. but beyond the testing, why is this station fully staffed? five station agents who can make up to $74,000 and a train dispatch supervisor who makes close to $90,000 according to th chronicle, are stationed here in warm springs. two janitors assigned here meet in the morning and drive a bart care to different locations in the system to clean up there. how did it happen? bart says the union contract only allows employees to bid on station postings twice a year. bart thought they would be opening last year and staffed up. the only problem, technical problems with operations in the track delayed the opening and the workers have to show up. bart says the full-time employees at an empty station are still doing important work. >> it is a large area to cover. we are a closed system which means that we can't -- you can't come upon the
