I’d rather see them create a real conservative broadcast news station.

You gotta remember, broadcast gets much more viewers than cable does AFAIK.(last I saw, Fox was in the 2 million viewers range and is the most successful while CBS is generally viewed as a disaster and typically gets 7-8 million a night)

A new conservative outlet to compete with Fox/Cable to only get a low million viewership number doesn’t seem to make as much sense as it would to create a new outlet to compete with abc/nbc/cbs to try to get a high million viewership number.

I like the idea though. I just wish there was broader outreach given the current limitations of cable, talk, and internet.

And about XM/Sirius....... I’ll consider getting it if localism(fairness doctrine) does it’s dirty work. I definately don’t want to be cut off.

Which makes me wonder......... What do the AM talkers have planned in a post localism/fairness doctrine U.S.A.?

It's been tried before and the NEOCON DC insiders consider them to be too big a threat. They worm their way in and destroy it from within. Back in the mid 1990's Paul Weyrich launched such a network. It was good while it lasted. Then came the NEOCON's and with them the Liberals.
