As a matter of fact... YES!

The station has history. In the early 20's a gent named William S. Paley 
borrowed $50k from his mother and bought the station which, at the time, 
was not doing too well. Turned it around well enough to apply for one of 
the early 50 gallon allocations and was grandfathered in as a semi-clear 
channel by the Radio Act of 1934. Bought a few more licenses along the 
way and incorporated the whole mess into something called The Columbia 
Broadcasting System.

They've had their eye on you ever since............. ;)
