Default Restore Duplication Rule, free up some bandwidth

Back in the early '60s the FCC made a rule that you could not run the
same programming on your AM station as was on your FM station, most of
the time. A lot of Newstalker blowtorches are on both AM and FM signals.
(Reagan dropped the rule). We need to liberate these blowtorches for the
people and leave the hate radio on the FM, with all the other bullcrap.

KSL is the biggest offender.


Speaking of 'liberating' a "Blow-Torch" {Hard} :
How Are You Dave ;;-}} ~ RHF

KSL* is a good example of the ~transition~ of AM/MW Radio
Programming {Content} from the AM/MW Radio Band to the
FM Radio Band : Which IMHO is a necessary step for Radio
Broadcasters {Content Providers} and a Changing Demographic
of Radio Listeners {Content Consumers} and in a Decade
the ~transition~ should be well along it's way.

* Plus KCBS in SF and many more across the USA.

KCBS-AM 740kHz + KFRC-FM 106.9 MHz + KCBS.Com

-remember- Content Is King
-and- The Name of the New Kingdom is FM Radio
along with Streaming Audio Via The Internet Too !

dave,,, Dave... DAVE ! ! !
---if--- Duplication is a ?problem? then why allow AM/MW
and FM Radio Broadcasters to also be on the Internet [WWW]
and offer Streaming Audio {Listen Live} via the WWW versus
Requiring Radio Listeners {Audio Content Consumers} to
Only 'Listen' Over-the-Air -one-does-wonder....-
-oops- Now That Would Truly FREE-Up Some Bandwidth )

Duplication and Redundancy : It's About Giving Content
Consumers The 'Choice' in "The How" They Receive Their
Personal Choice in 'Content' :
-cause- All Content Leads To The Consumer
-and- They {The Consumers} are the Reason Content Exists
The Only Rule-of-Content {Freedom-of-Content} :
The Right-to-Content Shall Not Be Infringed [.]

-point-of-fact- Content "Triplication" AM/MW + FM + Internet
One Content By Any Means Available Media Distribution
Via {Through} Diverse Mediums
