It appears that Clear Channel Communications (the ones who brought you the Do Not Play list after 9/11), have done it again. In my beloved former home of Chicago, they decided to sell the traffic reports. Huh? Instead of hearing weather and traffic to O'Hare airport, you will be able to find out about Allstate Arena (located n miles from O'Hare). The response (from the Chicago Sun Times) has been rather vitriolic and amusing.

Speaking of Clear Channel Communications, this is a good time to plug John McCutcheon and his great song about the Do Not Play list, The List. Available for your listening pleasure at The List (mp3).
