Oprah and BonoNews bits for this Friday the 13th (Oooo):

  • Oprah and Bono promote a new line of products to raise money to fight AIDS in Africa. Includes a special-edition red iPod, and Moto's got a red RAZR/SLVR... no red Inno though. [AP]
  • Rumor: Dr. Phil to strap on the headphones and get his own radio show. Supposedly his son is on-board as well. The Dr. Phil show is produced by Harpo Studios. [Radio & Records]
  • Affluent women with incomes of $75k+ are growing. They tend to use the Internet a heck of a lot more than average adults, but at the expense of other media. What happens when you combine Radio + the Internet? [Radio Ink]
  • CNET CEO Shelby Bonnie resigned after stock options investigation. John Mohn has been named the non-executive chairman along with Neil Ashe as the new CEO. Mohn is on XM Satellite Radio's Board of Directors. [paidContent]
  • The rumors were true, Air America Radio filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. [NY Times]
  • HD Radio's get a rebate discount of $25-$50 off. Still won't bring them to the "right price" to spur adoption (psst, the right price is "free"). [FMQB]
"News Bits" includes related, semi-related and too-short-to-justify-a-full-post bits of info. Got a news bit you think is worthy? Go ahead and let me know.
