May 2012

I've been involved with radio for way longer than I care to admit (since the 70s) and have never heard of this. Doesn't matter anywho as talk programming is not considered "political" but as "entertainment" (why Rushbo called himself an "entertainer&quot thus even in the days of the "fairness doctrine" talk shows and news programs were exempt from "equal" time. It's a logistical nightmare...and who keeps score? Good luck with your petition...the FCC's busy not doing anything, but your heart is in the right place...
