I was the one who made the original suggestion to Doug about these companies, and gave him the list of the potential companies. One other idea that might be accepted is an official racing company. With the new go-kart track, this can be facilitated in many ways, and I see many roleplay opportunities. Ex. shutting down roads for a race, drag races, formal betting/pink slips, etc. If anyone likes this idea, go ahead and make one!
I have made a suggestion to make some combination of companies. This is what I told Doug:
All these applicants for official talk show/news/radio stations could instead be one large station that does all 3; news, music, and talk show over a set freq. Doing just music/talk show over a freq for hours at a time can become boring. I can see an integration of a music/talk show going, then interrupting with "Breaking News" and switching to a news broadcast for any major crimes or other reported incidents, or switching to news broadcasts for updates on situations (ex. an active DOJ case) with a Twitch live feed from a news helicopter/news van. Conveniently, we already have a "breaking news" report for major crimes by AAN World News, so that integrates nicely.
I haven't heard back yet, but larger companies with subsidiaries is a good idea, but in general banks/bounty hunting require sophisticated roleplay, the other types of companies like radio/towing are less complicated so I suspect that idea might come later or not at all because of its complexity to integrate.
