You can't start a radio station in America, it is verboten. The Feds control access to the air waves. For the most part mega-corps control the content. The Air America disaster was a Democrat attempt to follow the Limbaugh prototype. They sucked and lacked Limbaugh's timing. I don't support the fairness doctrine but I also don't support the Feds protecting corporations from competitors. We need to loosen up the license distribution for low and medium power radio if we want a freer market. Radio is a closed market enforced by the Feds. The fairness doctrine is a democrat solution for a democrat problem not an attempt at free speech protection.
