Next... conservative websites.
Satellite radio subscription boom.
Sat radio receivers and subscriptions will become THE hot Christmas gift.
Well, who said they can’t destroy the constitution in 4 years?
1st Amendment down, next up, the 2nd.
I hadn’t been able to get into FR all day (Saturday)! I thought they had already turned the lights out!
Imagine if we had representatives in DC that fought this hard for us! Sheesh he hasn’t been Pres-elect for a week, and he’s already got his vicious staff picked out and is going after talk radio. Libs must be in heaven.
Perhaps true...but it has a drastic effect on AM radio. We could be talking about 300 stations around the nation that are in dire financial trouble by October of 2009. They will come for bailout money too...but the true problem for them is that they will never be able to bring back talk-radio, so congress will fund yearly bailouts for these folks.
The other curious side is that we will all learn how to lodge complaints...and this tiny crew of three individuals who run this governmental control game...were built for the 1960’s style situation. Since the mid-80s when we stopped this game....our radio networks have tripled...TV has more than two hundred significant networks around the nation...each and every single town now has four stations minimum, and with thirty thousand complaints being lodged per week by both the left and right...these folks won’t be able to do much of anything.
“Next... conservative websites.”
well, what happened tonight to FR?
I hadnt been able to get into FR all day (Saturday)! I thought they had already turned the lights out!
I couldn’t get on FR, either. I thought they had shut us off, too. What happened?

so what? the whole point is to make sure that the conservative message isn’t heard by many people.
I couldn’t either. Just got on now. Thought they had been hacked.
Ditto
Yeah, I thought FR was shut down too. Couldn’t get on all... Maybe a server problem. I have been running virus scans for the last few hours. lol
Can they realistically just shut down talk radio. Seems radical.
Ditto.
Absolutely they can and will with a new Fairness Doctrine.
Remember, Obama called the Constitution a fundamentally flawed document.
Just got the bad news from John. The system is down hard and he's going to have to make a trip up to the data center to fix it. He says we'll probably be down all day. Jim
The latest message is:
Looks like John has made some progress. It's running, but just barely.
Looks like its still a major problem... expect further difficulties.
