Default Eduardo - Serious Question For You

It's sort of KPFK vs. KIIS. The interest in what you crave is miniscule.

Most of the world has national radio, not a lot of local content...
because it's been seen that the FCC localism policy that goes back to
the 30's was based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what listeners
wanted.


KPFK has an anal blockage of some sort. They are a terrible radio
station. Pacifica in Houston is a much better example. Radio has a
responsibility to provide a balanced diet. KIIS is like eating audio
junk food.

Localism can be as simple as having a Music Director in-house, breaking
regional hits, getting input from dance clubs, etc., rather than relying
on bozo consultants.
