One would assume that any conservative talk shows on those 220 stations will be purged in short order.
Yep, this is an all out push to finally kill America as it was and bring in a totalitarian rule.
I’d be willing to bet that the stations are going to fail in the market.
Remember when Al Franken decided to create a network of leftwing talk radio stations?
Suppressing conservative talkers has to be his goal. Left-wing talk radio has always failed. Honestly, is radio even relevant anymore? Rush is gone, and the rest are pipsqueaks. Podcasting has taken over, I think. (Not that I know first-hand, I don’t have the bandwidth at home, nor to I carry a smartphone.)
Perhaps, but as people leave that station as a consumer...the value of the station plummets in a matter of six months. Profitability-wise...as they try to fill the hours with non-value ‘talkers’....you end up dismissing folks left and right because you don’t make the cash flow.
End of 2025, I’ll predict a mass breaking up of the stations and some will sell for 50-percent of their 2024 value.
