The last three weeks, with trading values hovering between 30M-40M, seemed slow. But that was before this week, which makes the last three weeks seem like a trio of bona fide barn-burners. Even the lone TV deal didn't crack the million dollar threshold, and the only radio deal to do so actually move a station out of the commercial realm into the Georgia non-profit broadcasting system. Total value of 8M was out of reach. Snore.
