Hi.
While I agree that radio was once much much better than it is today, I see
little point in bemoaning the fact as it is certain that the kind of radio
that we all grew up with will never return. This may come as a shock to
some of you but the FCC doesn't give a damn how the general public feels,
nor does the United States Congress. They exist to serve the corporation,
because it is the corporation that most people in the FCC will turn to for
employment should they leave the FCC, and it is the corporations that put
up the money that get the Congressmen elected. Moan all you want, but big
corporate broadcasting is here to stay, and the government is 100% behind
it, and they honestly don't care whether you like it or not.
I see little point in hashing the state of broadcasting over further. It
is what it is.
