Clearchannel owns Air America and Conservative Talk Radio |

Has this been discussed here?
How do you think this effects programming on either station

6. I must be missing something then |
|
I heard that clearchannel owns 620.
After looking at 620's website I saw the
© 2006 Clear Channel Communications.
Apparently this has been discussed before. Not trying to rile anyone just trying to understand?

9. That's the radio station you are referring to |
|
not Air America. Air America leases time from the radio station, not owned by Air America. Go to their website and see who actually OWNS it.

12. I get VERY suspicious when I read these threads... |

After all, it would be in the conservative movement's interest to undermine AAR by spreading disinformation to make progressives think it's a ClearChannel operation. If we were to shun AAR ("it turns out it's really part of ClearChannel!") and it were to fail because enough of us stopped listening, it would leave only one viewpoint in radio...and it sure wouldn't be ours.

KQKE is a Clear Channel station, but they don't own AAR and neither does Clear Channel.

15. 620 is an affiliate station owned by CC. An AAR affiliate station |
|
is a station, that may be owned by CC or anyone else, that plays programming from the AAR network. My local AAR affiliate is owned by Entercom. Since you are looking at 620 which is owned by CC it's logical that 620's website notes CC's copyright. Ownership of a local affiliate does not equate to ownership of AAR.
AAR is owned by Piquant, LLC, a privately held company.

16. AAR is a central radio studio that sends its speech out to many local |
|
Edited on Mon Jan-02-06 05:18 PM by oscar111
radio stations , via some phone wire or satellite, and the locak radio stations have the final tall transmitter towers.
those local stations are owned by local guys, or sometimes by rich guys who own a chain of local stations with towers. To make things even more complicated, the central AAR radio studio with a mike, is often not the real source of chatter/rant. Oft, the talker is in his hometown at a good mike there, and sends his words to the central AAR studio via some phone wire.
To the best of my knowledge, that is.
You have a right to ask here. I was a newbie once, as were we all once. Ask anytime.
