(9,090 posts)but most of it would be political.
some folks would lose their usual way of listening to games but they're all doing podcasts now. there are alternatives. some folks would be pissed but most of the outrage would be re the thought that liberals were trying to hurt their rw radio.
it needs to come down to whether a business wants to keep advertising on rw propaganda outlets, whether they think it's bad for business, or the decision maker likes rw radio politics/trump and welcomes the association. that works in some places but most not. at the moment it is monopoly power keeping it together and it needs to shake out to the 10-20% of communities that can justify supporting it. instead of, for instance, 3 overlapping limbaugh stations in blue areas, with liberal competition sabotaged.
the school communities/students/employees need to decide if it makes any sense at all to support those stations and the anti-science, hate, lies, and attacks on education.
getting that discussion started before the next elections would be very beneficial for democrats/progressives.
