Hi.
More would be ok if the FCC would go back to limiting the number of
stations that one company could own. I think that Clear Channel and
Entercomm are big enough, they don't need any more stations, especially
since they have demonstrated that they are woefully inadequate to the task
of programming the stations that they already have.
That is the real problem. The American public got royally screwed when the
FCC decided to let corporate broadcasting buy up as much as they wanted,
and allowed them to pretty much program whatever they wanted, no matter how
redundant or offensive.
Also, the FM band is getting pretty full in Western New York--there are no
open channels without interfering with something already on the band and we
are seeing these low power FM stations popping up like a teenager's
zits. And they are just about as welcome. So, what I would propose is
let's open up 76 to 88 MHz, and move the low power jobs down the band and
clean up some of the bedlam.
