You pointed out the key point there. The liberals don't care if the money is taken off of KSFO and put on KGO. They want the ad dollars off of conservative programs to shut them down.
The whole routine they are doing about Disney and ABC being fascists is that they are furious that Melanie, Lee and Brian weren't already fired. It's the same drill as the Path to 9/11 when they made ABC to be out to be a right-wing television network that spreads lies and propaganda because Bill Clinton was afraid he'd face some of the blame for the growth of Islamic terrorist networks.
Liberals were also mad at the Sinclair network for running the Kerry documentary before the election, and tried to shut that down. They're probably also retaliating for the loss of Air America by trying to take down a conservative talker in a tit-for-tat.
I think businesses do care somewhat because they can't guarantee that money that leaves KSFO will go to KGO.
As I posted in a thread last week, I think it's more likely that some people will try to break up and sell off the AM radio networks (like ABCRadio selling its stations) as a way to break up the national syndications of shows like Limbaugh and Hannity, while simultaneously removing platforms for local talkers like Morgan. That market-based approach might be easier and less politically dangerous than trying to reinstall the fairness doctrine. Just like when KRON was sold to Young Broadcasting, if ABCRadio sells KSFO to a religious group (like AM 610 did), then Premier has to find a new station to run Limbaugh and Hannity in the Bay Area.
