(1,721 posts)It's not about how many rock, jazz, blues, country stations are on the AM dial. I welcome you to come to anywhere that's not very populated. Check out how many AM radio stations you can get on your radio dial in the parts of those states that are away from the population centers. For giggles, let your car radio scan for FM stations. It's fun to see it cycle, cycle, cycle, never picking up a signal.
K, we're left with AM stations: One jackass that has a microphone for hours, every weekday, and then he hands it over to his cohorts (Dr. Laura and such), COUNTRY music stations (with a little Western thrown in there to mix it up), and religious stations. That's. All.
Now in populated sectors, Left-leaning people CAN listen to NPR, but be careful. Admitting to being an NPR listener can be hazardous to your career. You will be labeled as a LIBERAL (and that could cost your promotions, and better job assignments). It didn't use to be this way. I don't know what happened? It must be all those rock, jazz, WBN, and cable stations that you've been going on about.
