Before being recruited by his client Jacor, Jay was President/CEO of Jay Meyers and Associates, a company that worked extensively with lenders and equity investors on difficult broadcast situations. During this time he became an experienced Broadcast Receiver and Bankruptcy Trustee (both Chapter 11 and Chapter 7). He was also retained by Bear Stearns as the radio expert for the 1996 purchase of ABC by Disney.
