In just three years, it has attracted more than two million listeners, according to Mediametrie, a French audience ratings company.

The Bad Bank News: Not That Bad
Date: 18 December 1990
 
  Every day seems to bring more bad news about banks. Over the weekend William Seidman, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, admitted that bank failures were far worse than he had previously predicted, and that the fund would reach unacceptably low levels. Yesterday three private economists gave even scarier testimony to a House subcommittee. Even if the imminent recession turns out to be mild, they said, the insurance fund could run short.   Bad as the news is, it's not dire. Bank failures -- even if they include a few large money-center banks -- will not become contagious and do not threaten the economy. The Federal Reserve Board and the F.D.I.C. have sufficient tools to manage the problem. In the worst of all outcomes, the taxpayers who are bailing out the savings and loan industry will be hit with another bailout. But that one would be small by comparison, its price measured in tens, not hundreds, of billions.

News Cites Big Rise in Sales, But the Industry Is Skeptical

  Despite what management calls a vast, union-led conspiracy to terrorize vendors, The Daily News announced last week that its circulation had climbed back to 600,000 papers a day.   Unfortunately for The News, few industry analysts, let alone circulation experts at rival newspapers, believe the numbers. More important, analysts say, The News's major advertisers, who have been abandoning the 71-year-old paper in droves since the strike began, also remain skeptical.

  PIE International announced it would handle freight through the end of the month before a bankruptcy trustee begins selling off the assets of the failed trucking line. On Saturday, United States Bankruptcy Judge George Proctor approved the company's plans to shut down operations and liquidate assets to pay off the company's debts.   PIE has been struggling since it and its parent company, the Olympia Holding Corporation of Miami, filed for protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of the Federal bankruptcy laws two months ago. PIE listed debts of $237 million and assets of $169 million. Before the filing, PIE operated 230 terminals and employed 3,500 workers.
