Re: [IRCA] KXEL deserves a reprimand or license revocation

[Mike McKenna <way2twohot@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Scott and the group,  I love radio just as much as all of us.  However -- the rules have changed.   It does NOT matter if you are "on the air" or not.  Even a dark station license is worth more than an entire year of commercials.   The FCC auctions make the "license worth more than the entire assets of the station.   5 stations in the Central Valley of California have been silent for over 7 years.   Yet sale value is over 7 million dollars.   The "stick" value is more than what any station can ever make "selling Ads".  It doesn't matter any more -- if a local broadcaster "serves the public good".  You can get on the old soap box if you wish -- but broadcasting - itself does not matter.   It's the license to broadcast that does.
