Clear channel killed the radio...

An article from Corpwatch about Clear Channel. Ladies and gentlemen: turn off your radios. Hell, boycott some concerts and vandalize some billboards while you're at it.

The UK's going that way with TV. Bunch of fuckwads.

Just don't turn them all off. WRCT stands as a bastion against Clear Channel, and won't ever give in to that crap. *raises finger in defiance*

As a person who works for a small radio station i can say that not all companies are like clear channel. In fact clear channel gives all of us media people a bad name. I also now the sad fact that must if not all little stations are feed in at some point and time. So that's just something to think about next time you listen to a "local" station. I can bet you that the DJ there is must likely somewhere else if it's after say 7 or later at nite until the next morning.

Satellite feeds and automation software makes 24-hour broadcasts economically viable, of this I am aware. I take no issue with that, really. From midnight to five AM is a listener dead zone, for the most part (unless you're a night shift worker like I am). What angers me is the fact that companies like Clear Channel have an agenda of homogenizing the national radio market via extremely narrow playlists, near 24-hour outside feeds and right-wing propaganda. In my opinion, Clear Channel gives media corporations a bad name in the same way that Microsoft gives software corporations a bad name.
