  • FCC rules and corporations (0 / 0)

    WCPT is only on sunrise to sunset thanks to an FCC regulation I'm not sure I understand. I can hear Hannity all night long. And Chicago is damn liberal. I do not think it's a case of the liberal audience not listening- before finding 820 I could not stand talk radio because they sounded so ignorant to me.

    Pres. Clinton killed small radio stations with deregulations- the corporations that own talk radio support conservative talk show hosts that bomb rather than a progressive one that kills in ratings. Why have someone like Thom that rails against big business and corporate greed when it's your bread and butter?

      ... what he once remarked about:  "Maybe I went too far."?

      Uh ... yes!  I remember when stations had to be roughly 50-50.  How times change!

      You live in Chicago?  I have fond memories of my childhood, when we could get WLS at night, in Oklahoma.  Then, I wasn't into politics, so I have no idea whether they were political or not, or which side, but man!  They had powerful signals!
