Looks to me like commercial radio is pretty much down for the count. Why?, because programming risk was removed from the equation. Same voices and opinions were/are everywhere. So what will happen? I think this will drive people even faster to alternative ways to get news and entertainment, just like what happened with radio and music. So, this is good for new news outlets and bad for old media, although I'm sure the suits who lobbied for this change don't see it that way. But they also don't see what's happening in the real world and don't have a clue how to compete. Agree, disagree? Dan Does anyone believe elimination of radio station

Does that include LA Times/KTLA, AZ Republic/KPNX, all the Tribune waivers, NY Post/WNYW-WWOR? And now that it's done, whither Congress? Are they mad enough to pass a bill forcing unconsolidation and divestiture of the waivers? Yeah, and I saw in the NY Times article that a bunch of waivers were made permanent.
