There is no shortage of Christian programming in most markets. In fact
most of the spectrum that was made available by changes to translator
rules, changes to low power education rules and the provision of new low
power broadcast stations resulted in much of the lower end of the dial
being "cluttered" with religious broadcasters where you once would hear
college or high school stations or translator outputs in rural markets. I
think NPR is simply reinforcing what had been the original intent of the
charter.

So what is your opinion as to why the left wants the "fairness doctrine"
reinstated? You think its so they can get equal air time? Or do you
believe they want to set up low power FM stations to air their point of
view?
They dont need to do that. They already have the major media in their
pocket, TV and print. The only thing they dont control is talk radio. But
they are going to control it. They wont even have to bring in the "fairness
doctrine" to do it. All they need to do, which is being bounced around at
the moment, is to simply change the license renewal time from 8 yrs to 1 yr,
and having someone, perhaps folks like ACORN, bring allegations of not being
beneficial to the community. Thats all it takes to yank the license. So
when you put that threat over a radio station owner, he either changes his
content or closes his station. He cant afford to close his station, so guess
what, the "fairness doctrine" is in effect implemented. And these arent on
the local low power FM stations. These will be the high power regional
stations, even the AM powerhouses. So your argument of all these low power
religious stations "cluttering" up the lower FM band is pretty much
irrelavant. No one listens to that end of the dial much. NPR is probably
one of the only stations out there that is listened to because liberals dont
have much else to listen to, mainly because stations that run programs like
Air America cant keep advertizers. Capitalists are not going to fund
programming that is communist in nature.
