Christmas On The Radio

[Dan Strassberg]

Yeah; the "idea" might give the owners an "incentive" to decide (as CCU has
done in many markets and--believe it or not--Entercom has done in at least
one market) that there is more money to be made by carrying progressive talk
from Jones and AAR. Wouldn't THAT be just tragic? Left to their own devices,
broadcasting companies are almost 100% politically conservative. They need
incentives to provide a more balanced diet of ideas. Apparently, they also
need incentives to realize that broadcasting of conservative ideas is not
the only way to make money. Even with incentives, many owners will NEVER see
the light.
