Re: Newspapers are long dead
You're very lucky to have a locally owned newspaper in your town. Our local paper, the Asbury Park Press, was sold by its local owners to Gannet about five years ago, and the quality has dropped significantly. Locally-owned papers and radio stations are something to be cherished. That's amazing that you've got a local all-news station; that's truly rare. I know of another one, WILM in Wilmington, Delaware. The PD there, Allan Loudell, is a long-time DXer and has a real passion for radio. Fortunately for him and for Wilmington, so do the station's owners. That's all too rare these days. Not to be critical, but if the standard was "not all of them", then Clear Channel would have nothing to be ashamed of. They only own about 10% of all the radio stations in the country. They're still a scourge on the supposedly publicly-owned airwaves.... There are responses to this message:
