He has an extensive history of innovation and success, including founding Westwood One, acquiring the NBC Radio Networks and the Mutual Broadcasting System, and gaining exclusive rights to CBS News, CNN Radio News, FOX Radio News, the NFL, NCAA basketball, and major events, such as the Super Bowl and Olympic Games.
