The new FCC rules let one company own up to 8 stations in a major market. In Atlanta, Clear Channel has 8, and 7 of the 8 would be among the largest stations in town. They have a lot of influence on what we hear or do not hear whether we like it or not.
Same FCC chairman who loosened the ownership rules last year is the same guy whose conservative restrictions on content Clear Channel is now very publicly standing behind. You'd think since they are the home of some of the largest syndicated "shock jocks" that they would be fighting instead. Kinda makes you go "hmmmmmm...."
Personally, it pisses me off to no end....just change the fucking channel if you dont like what you hear....

No, but there are established guidelines in how many radio, tv stations and newspapers a single company can own.
Guidelines?

An oldy but goody. Infinity was fined $600,000 in 1992 for discussing masturbating to a picture of Aunt Jemima.
Stern will probably turn this latest round into another best seller. I think he is talented. He has managed a best-selling book, a #1 movie, and a top- rated radio program. When I listen to Stern and then listen to the later guys, I hear a difference. Stern sounds much more natural. He talks about his life in a personal way, with all his faults and blemishes. People connect with him and his personality above and beyond the skits and bits.

Just a little reminder for all you 'free speech' assholes out there, "CONGRESS shall make no laws...". Don't blame CC. This whole thing is an attack on Clear Channel, which has been under attack for a long time because they host Conservative talk radio. Want some indirect proof? JJ's tit provoked nothing like this furor. I don't see Viacom being hit with superfines.
Sometimes, it is wiser to reserve judgement until one has more facts. Remember, the guys below the top at the FCC, like all other UNIONIZED gov't workers, can't be fired. In fact, they can't even be called to account.

"This" is a conspiracy against conservative radio? You've lost your mind.
