As you will remember, Talk Radio Network filed a Federal action against its former ad sales rep Dial Global (now WestwoodOne and owned by Cumulus) and multiple other parties 8/27/12, asserting antitrust, anti-monopoly and other claims. The last we had heard of the suit’s status was a mid-November pre-trial conference discussing settlement options, exploring motions, arranging a plan for discovery and setting a trial date. Now a 4/2 hearing has been set to consider the defendants’ (Dial Global, Compass Media Networks, WYD Media Management) motions filed last month to dismiss and strike the suit out of existence.
