Now don't get all anti-Soros on me but...
#2
Well, having worked in radio in a previous life (younger), if there's some good news here...you don't walk into a station and change it overnight.  Radio listeners are a loyal bunch; if all of a sudden all new people show up, and the whole demographic changes (overnight, or even in a few weeks) then the listening audience will drop off to zero just as fast.  Listeners will drop a station who does this like a hot rock pulled out of a campfire.  Today, with XM, this tendency is even worse.

So, Soros can do whatever he wants, but if he thinks he's going to snatch up a bunch of conservative radio stations and switch them over to liberal propaganda and programming, well, he's got another thing coming!

First off, you can't just go out on the street corner and hire on-air talent.  It takes a license (broadcast, for radio).  So, getting replacement on-air staff isn't an overnight thing.  Plus, it takes more than just the on-air guys; it also takes program directors, studio staff and other folks.  As a general rule, they're all a pretty tight knit group so when one gets run off often times whole groups follow.  When you have a paradigm shift like what is being presented here, well, this would result in mass exodus which would mean chaos for a broadcasting station (like failure to even be able to operate).

This is definitely concerning, for sure, but I'm not sure it will have much impact on the election.  Well, not the 2024 election anyway.

Just some thoughts from experience.

Heh, I wonder if my FCC commercial radio broadcast license is still valid?

Probably not, but I don't remember it having an expiration date.
