KNX 1070 even ran the "breaking news" bumper. Holy cow!
This is a very, very, very sad day.

It's sad but not really unexpected. R&R and Billboard have been under the same corporate roof for a while now. I remember the speculation that one would be shut down when that deal went through. Having two publications owned by the same company that do similar things doesn't make a lot of sense, and Billboard is the much more recognizable name. With the economic downturn and the hardship in radio, this does make sense. (A side note: The long standing publication Television Week went web only this week.)
Blaring this as "Breaking News" is way over the top though. What percent of KNX's listening audience even knew what R&R was?
