"Mary Catherine Sneed is a Trail-Blazer; and her proven power and relentless drive to turn vision into reality and take a little-known company, like Radio One was in 1998, and turn it into a formidable 71-radio stations one-third of a billion dollars multimedia conglomerate eight years later parallels the storied rise of Clear Channel from micro-cap obscurity to large-cap market leader (see historical reference note below).

Historical Reference Note (Media): In 1984, a relatively then unknown micro-cap, publicly-traded media company was in the midst of completing its Initial Public Offering (IPO) at a split-adjusted price of $0.43 per share (6 radio stations). Still unknown to the masses, that then 1984 $0.43/share penny stock publicly-traded media company evolved to what is known today as "Clear Channel Media and Entertainment" and a stock price at its height in excess of $30/share and an estimated market value of $24 Billion at the time of its privatization in 2008 (exploding from 6 to 850 radio stations).
