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.

You are delusional.
