PRX with Sprinkles
Hi friend of PRX,
The presidential candidates are good for one part of the economy: the part that runs on dough, lard and sugar. Hillary spent something like $1800 on Dunkin Donuts in New Hampshire, Florida and Virginia; Barack Obama dropped serious 'change' -- about $1800 -- at bakeries, too. John McCain and Mitt Romney each spent only half that amount. PRX, by comparison, keeps one entire Dunkin Donuts store in business 365 days a year. We need all that coffee and sugar to stay on top of the latest pieces flooding into PRX. And the bracing pace of licensing by stations.
Jelly-filled,
-John
