#1 Soros is suffering from... 'old man think.' What's next on his list, automotive inner tubes ?

Atlanta region radio stations likely not an issue. Nobody but democrats listen to that trash anyway. In a few more years. radios will only be found in antique malls.

#2 Just a few days ago my Sirius radio in my car sounded terrible so I flipped over to AM radio and pressed the SCAN button. More than 1/2 the AM stations were Spanish. The remainder were split between sports and news. I suspect Soros is targeting the Hispanic and illegal immigrant voters.

#3 /\ Ah, a very interesting hypothesis.

#4 A preponderant number of stations are FM. Broadcasts in the main are sports and modern music. With the exception of New York City, no major station is passing hands. If offered, I can't think of a savvy investor who would buy.

#5 The WaPo is not a profit maker, the investor wasn't interested in being savvy. Then again, everyone should have a hobby.

#6 Why is he even being allowed to do this?

At one time the Cold War era AM/FM radio was considered a critical resource for messaging the public during critical events. See CONELRAD.

#9 A few days ago I posted an article titled Who Killed Rock and Roll? Audacy was not mentioned in that article, it was all about Clear Channel and Cumulus. My impression of the people who run those companies was, although they don't know jack about music, they probably weren't deliberately trying to kill it, the assumption being they wanted to make money but they're tone deaf reptiles. Soros is a whole other basket of snakes. Like Bezos, he can afford to lose money for the sake of globalist propaganda.

Airandee has a likely theory at #2. If that's what Soros is trying to do we can only hope that Hispanics don't like listening to bullshit any more than anybody else. Anybody remember Air America?

#11 I listen to a Mexico music radio station. Plenty of good music and hosting, but every news update there for a while was Anti-DeSantos this and that during the DIEsney GRQLMER+ fights.

That is neither local news or flavor, so that is a national syndicate news release probably required by corporate for their licensing.

#13 Heh.
But yes, northern Mexico style, as opposed to any of the Central, South, or Caribbean preferences. I understand the lyrics better than Pop Country.
