Re: [IRCA] Radio Needs to Serve Listeners...Not Wall Street

["David Gleason" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe all the media in Burkina Fasso is government owned “for the people” as it is in Iran and a few nice places like that. Places where radio is not privatized are generally places where freedoms are limited and where most Americans would have a hard time living.

There is no way to support the current level of broadcasting non-commercially… when the cost of operation of these stations is over $10 billion a year.

AM spectrum would be better off in non-commercial hands...ditto with FM. There is no need in the United States for the commercial broadcast service; therefore, it really should be eliminated in favor of a listener-supported, local-oriented non-commercial service, operating with the same programming requirements as LPFM.
