  Free Press : Entercom Pushes Back
Entercom has moved for dismissal of the suit recently filed by Eliot Spitzer against the company for fraud and deceptive business practices.
Entercom’s lawyers say the attorney general must prove that consumers were harmed as a result of material deception and that because radio is free, there can be no harm.
At the time of Spitzer’s filing in early March, Entercom said it was confident that a court would “fully and fairly” resolve the claims of payola leveled against the radio group by Spitzer’s office.

Shares of Entercom are a bargain now, Banc of America Securities said Monday, claiming the national radio broadcaster’s stock is trading as if it will buy all 39 of the small-market radio stations that CBS has put up for sale.
After Entercom Communications (nyse: ETM - news - people) posted a 29% second-quarter loss last week, investors apparently feared that the broadcaster will add to its woes by buying up all of the CBS (nyse: CBS - news - people) stations.
"Entercom stock appears to be discounting the risk that the company acquires all of the available CBS Radio stations - something we think is unlikely," said Jonathan Jacoby, an analyst for the research firm.
