(9,090 posts)ad industry and the station owners have to break up the monopoly
the ad industry and the station owners are already probably trying to figure out what to do withe 600 limbaugh stations and how they will replace him - they won't be able to get the same revenue for replacements. different owners will want different replacements and none of the second rate options can replace limbaugh.
they might call a 'debate' on global warming legit but all those stations are licensed to operate in the public interest were calling COVID a hoax at ffirst and then overblown and politicized masks, etc. they are responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. they followed limbaugh to scream HOAX! in a covid theater and they all should lose their licenses.
none of the 87 universities listed at fakenewsradio.org has any excuse to keep broadcasting sports on those stations
it might not take much activism to scare the ad industry into action. they want the ears those stations want and won't want to see a mass exodus of advertisers leading radio for other media
iff you know anyone in media or progressive or dem party leadership get them to start signaling such activism to the ad industry. it might just take a few press releases. the ad industry needs to know its coming. the MIT prototype for mass analysis of RW radio makes it inevitable the ad industry has to force the democratization/break up of the monopoly.
