When are the simple-minded idiots who are running commercial radio going to
figure it out that they are competing against a lot more now than just other
radio stations. With two or three conglomerates owning most radio in this
country and the fact that they are all programmed identically with the same
moth-eaten playlist of 50 tunes makes radio a last choice. If the owners of
the stations and the FCC would get back to basics...local
programming...they'd find their audience AND ADVERTISING REVENUES explode.
Where we live we can only receive a relatively few stations (compared to the
"Big City") but even so, of the handful of AMs and the fist full of FMs we
do receive there are 6 stations...SIX!!!...all airing the same ESPN Radio
satellite feed. What a joke. Who listens? We never turn on a radio anymore
because there is nothing there. It's the fault of the FCC and the station
owners who are reaping now what they have sown.
