The Blind Leading the Blind

From the Boston Herald:

Clear Channel Communications says it has picked Fox News Radio to be the primary source of national news for most of its news and talk stations under a five-year agreement. The deal initially covers more than 100 radio stations.

Fox will provide a five-minute top-of-the-hour newscast, a nightly news broadcast, and around-the-clock dedicated national news coverage. In return, Fox News Radio will have access to news produced by Clear Channel's news network.

Fox, a unit of News Corporation, says if all options in the agreement are exercised, its radio service could have more than 500 affiliates by the middle of next year.
