Broadcasters Beware!
Small Market Broadcasters Soon To Be Under Siege By Obama’s FCC

Just a snippet:
Let us be clear on something. You may not like it, but it is fact, nevertheless. I once heard a preacher say: “You may not believe in hell, and that’s alright. But is still there, and you are still going!” The same holds true for what I am about to say. Right wing, conservative, talk shows saved the AM Broadcast Band in America. That is a fact whether you believe it, or not. I was there. I saw it. The AM band was done for. It had nowhere to go. It had tried everything, including “AM Stereo”, and nothing worked. The broadcast quality of the FM band was so far superior to AM that AM was a relic. AM stations were shutting down. They were being sold for a song. In some cases they were actually being given away! I’m serious. If, say, a company had an AM/FM Combo for sale, they’d sometimes sweeten the deal by GIVING the AM station to the buyer of the FM station! In some cases, some owners simply switched off the transmitter, locked he doors, and mailed their licenses back to Washington – and walked away. It was THAT bad. As I said, I was there. I saw it.
Go. Read the entire post!
I have never understood why there was a “Fairness Doctrine” in place the first time around. It was, and will be, a complete violation of the 1st Amendment. The left wants you ignorant. Just look at the state of the public education system. Our children are coming out about as ignorant as they went in, with one exception…..the libtard indoctrination has taken hold.
