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.

The top 3 groups, combined, own less than 10% of all radio stations in the
US.

There is vastly more format diversity than in the 50's and 60's and the days
of limited ownership.

If the owners of the stations and the FCC would get back to basics...local
programming...

People never ask for local programming. they ask for good and entertaining
programming. Remember, radios first several decades was based almost totally
on network national programming.
