Let me work through the logic of this....
The same people who didn’t listen to (Dead) Air America when it was on free radio are now expected to listen to it on satellite for a fee. That’s some business plan!
The same people who didn’t listen to on (Dead) Air America when it was on free radio are now expected to listen to it and who were paid with stolen tax dollars from charities like Boys & Girls Club will now receive subscriber dollars on satellite for a fee by liberal government edict. That’s some business plan!
Yep it is some business plan, because the hosts need their media station whether anyone listens or not. They can be guest hosts on anything from MSNBC programming to the Tonight Show. They can be guests ON the Tonight Show and Letterman. They have "credibility" because they can finally earn a living at their huckster profession.
They become the go to guy. They could even moderate debates or be called upon to submit questions. Not so much when they don't have a job.
They are members of "the media". And unlike a fat cat capitalist like Rush Limbaugh, they wouldn't have to "sell out" to corporate sponsorship.
Insist that all of this "community" programming be held to the same rules as 501c3 non-profits. NO political advocacy for or against a candidate, party, or piece of pending legislation. HA!
No. The libs get 48 channels. It will be lumped into your service. YOU will pay for keeping the liberal channels on the air. It won't matter whether anybody actually listens. They've found a way to soak the existing customer base to subsidize the liberal garbage channels.
