The Bone, KFOX, Live 105 and more are all Clear Channel stations, I think (if you don't know them for anything else, you should be aware that they were involved in the Howard Stern fracas, or at least the one that sent him to satellite radio).

The other big network of radio stations is Cumulus, but I'm less sure about them: Clear Channel is a big monolithic corporate entity and as these things go, their stations are all basically taking orders from the same place.

KFOG is part of the Cumulus network and I don't know if it does the same things or not -- it SEEMS more locally-oriented... but that could just be clever work on the part of the folks there.

But I, as ever, digress:

The Meg Whitman adds (they really irk me; I used to work for her, in a loose sense) and the Yes on J ads are all over because those campaigns are spending big to make it happen.

The only anecdotal evidence I can throw out either way is that big construction sites provide an economic boost in some areas for the duration of construction, and what is now 'HP Pavillion' (otherwise known as the Shark Tank) has done some pretty good things to the area there. The downside is, as ever, traffic. Which at least the proposed stadium site will handle better, being built next to Great America which already has it's own traffic issues.

Is J a good idea or a bad one? Hell if I know; economic stimulus makes me want to knee-jerk and say yes, but Santa Clara's economy isn't really built on construction and tourism so who knows?
