Back in the early '60s the FCC made a rule that you could not run the

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.

Yeah .... just like Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Beria, Mao, Kruschev,
Castro,
Pol Pot, etc "liberated" their countries "for the people", ey comrade
Dave?

Perhaps "liberate" was a poor choice of words on Dave's behalf, but the
idea is a sound one.

The (no) duplication rule was brought about for a sound reason: to give
FM radio a chance to flourish on it's own. Without it, FM would have
died back in the 60's without ever garnering an audience. Now, it may be
a good idea to bring it back, but for the opposite reason: to give AM a
chance at a comeback of sorts. Bringing back the rule would make big
corporations like Entercom, Disney, Clear Channel, et. al. either create
programming that listeners will listen to (and advertisers will support)
or give up those AM plants to someone that WILL. The only logical reason
they are keeping them once they move the content to FM is to freeze out
competition

Perhaps Dave meant exactly what Dave said. A single narrow ideology (that
incidentally favors fat cat station owners) dominates the political
speech on the Peoples' airwaves. This tends to damage democracy and warp
the political scene. It figures that certain mouth breathers would take
offense; I'd be surprised if they didn't.


Right on! Power to the people! Stop NPR from dominating 88 ~ 91 mhz!
