John Hogan Quotations

With the improved audio quality , we will really begin to see the demand increase.

The only people I was permitted to talk to about the case were my close family and my typewriter,

Mr. Stern's show has created a great liability for us and other broadcasters who air it, ... The Congress and the FCC are even beginning to look at revoking station licenses. That's a risk we're just not willing to take.

If I had to predict, I would say that this year, 2005 to 2006, was probably the worst of it, in terms of the percentage increase. Things seem to have stabilized a little bit.

Great people like Dick Lewis make great radio. Dick and his team's ability to serve the people who suffered tremendous losses as a result of this natural disaster is a demonstration of local radio's highest purpose, and of why this medium is fundamental.

Given the state of New Orleans, we believe it is critical for the community to have the most current and accurate information available, ... By coming together and pooling our resources we will be able to provide the community with news, updates and a connection with the outside world.

He's a little insecure right now about what he's doing, but I don't think he has reason for it. In the four years we've been using him he's grown immensely, but he still maintains great quality.

We look at this at this as an unprecedented opportunity to provide choices for our consumers. We have to create consumer awareness and in return create consumer demand.

We made tremendous improvement from the beginning of the tour until the end,

I think this allows us to play in the digital world. It is an important entree for us. The radio industry has collaborated and cooperated to work together to make this roll out as meaningful for consumers.

Our programmers (have) created a massive infusion of new programming to radio.

I think satellite is trying to compete with radio , not the other way around. I think this is a technological opportunity radio has been quick to exploit.

I think this is an innovative solution that has come from the business community to address the problem of low-income businesses and workers who are without health insurance.

Why was the lead prosecutor participating in a field search during a multimillion-dollar investigation? What are the odds that he finds this needle in the haystack? Other field searches were previously conducted and even metal detectors were utilized, but on this day, he somehow was the one to 'plant' - I mean find this evidence?

We can provide superior sound quality and significantly increased choice at no subscription cost. That's a very compelling consumer proposition.

We had hoped to return Mr. Stern's show to the air free from indecent content. Unfortunately, the FCC's latest action, combined with deafening silence from the Stern show on their future plans to comply with the law, leave us no choice but to abandon the program for good.

We had hoped to return Mr. Stern's show to the air free from indecent content, ... Unfortunately, the FCC's latest action, combined with deafening silence from the Stern show on their future plans to comply with the law, leave us no choice but to abandon the program for good.

We view this having the potential to incrementally help the area a little, ... It's a toe in the water.

We have become agnostic about delivery ... We'll continue to lead the radio industry on to new platforms.

We have become agnostic about delivery and are completely passionate about content.

We've created this programming to give broadcasters the most flexibility and the best return on investment.

You have to be short and concise with them,

This time, they sound serious as a heart attack. It's a bottom-line corporate thing, and it's a typical move we see all the time now.

We will look at different types of ads. There's a need to do it differently. Radio is reinventing itself by taking advantage of and embracing new technologies.

We will not air Howard Stern on Clear Channel stations until we are assured that his show will conform to acceptable standards of responsible broadcasting,

At the very worst, we intended to give the driver a speeding ticket, ... tragic accident.

It was vulgar, offensive and insulting, not just to women and African-Americans but to anyone with a sense of common decency.

Radio has to become more than tall towers in big fields. We have to complement the radio experience with video and online interactivity. We want to become part of every listening experience.

Profiling was accepted, not trained or taught, ... Did race play a role? Yes, but there are so many other aspects that went into who we stopped.

A friend of mine suggested it to me, ... Maybe he had the intuition or foresight to realize what was about to happen. I also noticed immediately that there were a lot of things out of place with the investigation, but I never thought it would lead to a book. It wasn't until later, when I was in teleconferences with guys like Johnnie Cochran and (Barry) Scheck, that I realized how big it had become.

As a broadcaster, as the CEO and as the father of a 9-year-old girl, I am ashamed to be associated in any way with those words. They are tasteless, they're vulgar, they should not, do not and will not represent what our radio stations are all about,

They were in a tough situation on Pratt Street. We can feel some satisfaction that it will help the handicapped.

They give every ounce of effort to be out there and play. It's a world where they don't feel ostracized.

It's all about great radio. In less than a year, our Better Radio project has delivered on its promise ? better radio creates a bigger audience.

It's obvious we are no longer in the business of tall towers and big fields.

It looks really good, there were about 10 to 15 guys. Some of the old-timers were very pleased when they saw how they were using it by helping the handicapped.

It's like if you were gonna eat at home. You're gonna make a few vegetables and potatoes to pass around the table and I think that's kind of the gist of what a Chicago steak house is. We have a little motto here: we're not a steak house, we're a steak home.

TCO is just a data point. What is perhaps more effective is when you can steer a customer to someone who has a similar situation.

It's been interesting, in a little bit less than nine months weve gone from trying to convince people that :30s and :15s were a viable option, to now were responding to requests for even shorter length commercials. Weve had major national agencies come to us and talk to us about what were now calling 'ad-lets,' which are five-second commercials. Weve had requests for seven-second commercials. Its really spawned a different kind of conversation and a different level of participation with our advertising partners. Thats all really very encouraging.

Every uninsured person ends up costing those with coverage more money, ... That's why it's keenly important to CHP's efforts to maintain affordable coverage that we reduce the number of people without this protection.

I know the employees are being told the plant is closing. I know people in management are being told that.

I know that I did nothing wrong, and I am proud of the job I did, ... I'm proud of my experiences and being a trooper. To this day, I believe I was wrongly terminated.

I'm waiting for something to come down in writing.

In the current year, when we revised our budget in the fall, we recognized a very substantial increase in costs of all utilities - electricity, natural gas and steam. Both natural gas and steam costs are rising very substantially.

Clear Channel Radio has made strides in implementing new initiatives this year that are improving the listening experience, and these Marconi Radio Award winners exemplify the company's commitment to delivering first-rate entertainment. We are extremely proud of these individuals and thank them for their dedication and excellence.

Clear Channel drew a line in the sand today with regard to protecting our listeners from indecent content, and Howard Stern's show blew right through it,
