Want to buy a major national radio chain on the cheap? Bala Cynwyd's Entercom Communications (ETM), which operates 111 stations in 23 markets, ended the day at 56 cents per share, near its recent low of 52 cents. At one point in the past year, its shares were trading as high as $19.59.
At its current price, Entercom's market cap is a mere $21.2 million. Of course, you would also have to pick up about $1 billion of debt. Have fun making the payments.
Entercom's earnings report is due on November 6. They have recently announced cutbacks in some markets.

Although T-Mobile's 3G network has been officially on in the area since the beginning of the month, I wasn't sure from some of the initial reports I read in the national media whether the Android-based G1 phone was available here yet. I checked, and it is.
Be aware, however, that T-Mobile's own coverage map suggests there is not much 3G coverage in some of the northern Pennsylvania suburbs or west of the Blue Route. I don't know if this is totally up to date, but it is their map.
A map of T-Mobile retail locations is here.
