7. It's not an attack on you

This is the Pennsylvania group's page and it has been mentioned on here many times. If you're not a regular on this page, well I'll explain it. I didn't suddenly think of this, it has been mentioned here before.

Your question was how to ensure the hate radio stations have less of an impact in this state. I'm giving one way to do it. The Pitt, Penn State, Gannon, Penn U and other college football games give these stations big boosts in their listeners on the days when football games are aired. People who don't normally listen to radio especially AM radio, are listening for those games. The universities and colleges can strategically make deals for airing their football and basketball games in a way that will benefit the stations that provide balanced, politically neutral news rather than right-wing Faux News wanna-be's.

Yes, this year is different because of the Covid situation. But in previous years (and for future years) it's unfortunate that the hate radio stations were not boycotted. That was my point, and I apologize if it sounded like a personal attack on you. It wasn't.
