There has been an internal power struggle at the station and several attempted coups from within.

And THAT is the source of their problems. I listen sometimes on Saturdays, the music is good but eventually I get tired of the editorializing and turn it off. I actually heard one of the dj's try and blame the fire, etc on the KKK. Yeah, right. Their "internal power struggles" are sometimes entertaining to read about, just read the minutes of their board meetings. Some of the stuff they spend their time on is a hoot and a real eye-opener. I just tell myself that as long as the left stays busy with stuff like that, it keeps them from stirring up crap somewhere else.

The doors to the station used to be open to the public but with some ex-staffers being barred from the premises, physical assaults, and attempts to run into the studio and takeover the broadcasts, they require those coming to the station to buzz in around the clock, the receptionist has to let you in.

But NONE of this made it to the Houston Comical’s piece.

I doubt it was an act of random violence and I doubt that it was because of some mysterious “gay or prison” show discussion. It was because the Stalinist audience doesn’t like sharing the station’s resources with the music listening audience (which is the demographic that coughs up more of the donations).

You can hang around town and find libs who are alternately scared and bored by the political blather of the hard leftists on that station. And they probably put their 501c3 tax status in frequent jeopardy with political advocacy, whether it is the Green Party campaign literature available to visitors in the lobby or on air appeals for/against a candidate, party, or piece of pendind legislation.

They can no more engage in political advocacy than a church can.
