KGO radio in San Francisco, one of the last radio stations in the US that actually produced a large amount of programming is dumping all but one talk host in order to be 24/7 news. 24/7 news likely means people in a studio reading wire service stories.
It’s sad, but not surprising, to see this happen.

infoneer-pulse:
The newspaper industry and its allies have many grievances against the Web. They say the Web is parasitic, that it copies newspaper content and steals its advertising. They claim that Web creators will never provide the deep reporting that democracy needs and that newspapers provided before the Web arrived and ruined the media neighborhood. They want to tame the Web by rejigging...

Fear driven radio? →

From the about page of “Pirate Christian Radio”
Pirates are vicious, cruel and heartless thieves, why would you name a Christian radio station after them?
“Pirate” radio stations are those that broadcast from outside of “the system”. We are no different. Now-a-days, far too many “Christian” radio stations have become havens for every absurd fad and all types of foul winds of...
