Why do people keep asking what was Levin thinking? Levin founded LevinTV which grew into CRTV. Levin is not a part of CRTV management. He just has a show there and will for a few more years at least.
OK, he may not be the CEO... I don't care to investigate any further as to the ownership, but as Founder and Editor-in-Chief I'd think that one would have to consider him "Management". But if he was completely powerless in deciding to partner with Beck, then he has my apologies for thinking he was foolish to do so.
Do you really think his voice carries no weight there?
If it does, then I assume he is at least somewhat favorable.
