“How about a few 50-100K watt transmitters just offshore”.

...that is EXACTLY how Sean, Rush et al will operate. Long term it would be best. Going on XM could be a waste. Not enough listenership. Although if XM is willing to pay...quite possibly.

You'll have a few who could survive that way, but any station that still has a local talker will replace his show with gardening talk. Essentially you destroy the minor leagues where Rush's or Hannity's replacement will come from.

Taking conservative radio offshore is like burying your
guns in the back yard. If the nation has gotten to that point then the people need to be in full rebellion. Government can regulate satellite broadcasts if it wants to, and its easy to track down offshore transmitters and take them out. Eventually any type of broadcasting can be silenced or limited to the point that it is worthless.

It seems we keep drawing one line in the sand after another. Many say if government does this then we are going to rise up against its tyranny. Yet, we step back and draw another line in the sand. The destruction of conservative AM radio is not acceptable, just as burying my AR15 in the backyard is not acceptable.
