Takeouts: Citadel bankruptcy, NFL, listeners on student loans

The World

Money Takeout: New York Times business and finance reporter Louise Story reports on the bankruptcy filing of Citadel Broadcasting Company – the third largest radio group in the country and the home of popular syndicated programs from Don Imus and Rush Limbaugh, among others.

Sports Takeout: Ibrahim Abdul-Matin recaps the weekend’s NFL action, which leaves us with only one undefeated team in the league, a clearing playoff picture in the NFC but a murky one in the AFC.

Listener Responses: Listeners keep calling in with great stories (and great tragedies) that came in the fine print of their student loans.
