No, it was because the 120 station strong Puerto Rico Broadcasters
Association felt the stations were illegal. And they were.

Illegal my ass...

It was really because they wouldn't let you pretend that you owned
them...

AFRTS Buchannan could be easily heard in Hato Rey, Old San Juan and Cataño
and the northern reaches of Guaynabo, very illegal coverage. AFRTS Ramey
could be heard on the coast as far as Isabela to the East and Aguada and
Moca to the West and Southwest.

That's totally illegal. The proof is that both switched to low power FM when
the PRBA presented its case.

You were just upset because they wouldn't let you pretend that you owned
them...

pride with which Gleason asserts his part in getting two AFRTS
stations closed only underscores the assertion sometime back that the
only thing we've ever heard him renounce is his citizenship.

The driving force in closing AFRTS Ramey and AFRTS Buchanan was the PRBA
which objected, on legal grounds, to those stations covering way too much
of the civilian population when an LPFM would suffice. Considering that,
at the time, the environmental damage and health risk the Navy was
putting the Municipality of Vieques through at the time, the PRBA was
rather adamant about this invasion of Puerto Rican airwaves by the US
military.

Once again, you demonstrate my point for me.

If the point is to show how many ugly things the US has done abroad, then
that's right.

Again, the only thing you renounce.....

You sound like the drunk soldiers the Puerto Rican police had to pick up all
the time around the bases on the Island. 24 hours of dry out before handing
them over to the MP wagon usually brought them back to normal. I would
imagine you will try to dry out tomorrow so you can work up the energy to go
to the liquor store to buy some cheap stuff for next weekend.

Ah...this from an accessory-after-the-fact to illegal activity.

I'm sure Steve's properly humiliated.

That's a lie. Everyone knows that a radio station can't be heard beyond
their COL. Eduardo says so... oh, wait....

An AFRTS on an ADMINISTRATIVE base that is less than a square mile does not
need to put 10 mv/m over an area 10 mi8les away. A carrier current AM would
have worked; the other AM at Ramey has such a good signal it was DXed nearly
2000 miles away and could be piced up easily for more than 20 miles from the
base on land. Neither obeyed either the spirit or the intent of the
restrictions on AFRTS stations... starting with the fact that putting them
on US soil and then allowing them to compete over areas as big as several
hundred square miles of off-base US territory was not appropriate. If there
had been an AFRTS station at one of the San Antonio bases that could be
heard in downtown SA it would have been closed in about 90 seconds.

When nearly nobody in the 18-34 demo in the US listens to Rush or any other

Nice spin. People that call in to the program don't sound over 50. They
sound like they are 20 to 40 years old. Mom's with kids and many topics
revolve around kids, school.

- How many calls does El Oxycontin-bo
- take in the course of 3 hours?

Dave,

For the most part People "Tune-in" and Listen to hear
Rush Limbaugh 'do' Rush Limbaugh*.
* Rush Limbaugh's Show Ain't About Call-Ins :
It's About Rush Limbaugh Bloviating to the Extreme.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_Limbaugh

Whereas People "Tune-in" to Listen to Sean Hannity to
hear Sean Hannity* and His Guests plus some Callers.
* Sean Hannity's Show is more than Sean Hannity -but-
Sean Hannity still Bloviates most of the air time away.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Hannity

at least that is the way i hear it on the radio ~ RHF

Rake in the bongos? Is that like cashing in the castanets? Depositing
the dxAces? No, wait, that last one is a bowel movement.

Maybe they want the truth from home.

* *He doesn't get it, Steve.

* *Consider that there are a number of things that are not like things
at home. One is that the listener him/herself is different. They're
committed. They're focussed. They're trained. They've volunteered to
serve. They're politically active at the most basic level. They're less
concerned about the fluff that dominates the evening news than they are
defending the fundamental freedoms that permit the behaviours that lead
to the fluff that dominates the evening news.

* *That takes them off most squares of the psychographic grid. Hometown
demography doesn't apply. They're a different type of people with
listening tastes and habits that reflect a different type of lifestyle.

* *Another consideration is that there are dramatically fewer choices
for listening in theatre. Unlike you and me, who have a dial full of
selections, troops in theatre have a fraction of the offerings. They
listen, as you say, for fresh truths from home. Not for the latest
George Michael release.

* *And politically, they tend to a more conservative path. Rush is big
with military, as a whole, regardless of demography.

* *Programming AFN is not like programming WKSC.

* *Drop Gleason into a Marine base in-country and he'd get a dose of
reality he assiduously avoids in his current position.- Hide quoted text -
