The Heir/Tropical Soulvangelical/TSV makes the point of listening to Glenn Hauser through his feature flip phone every week for coverage -about- radio and not just -by- radio. That said, TSV acknowledges the vagaries of call-em-as-I-hear-em type journalism accordingly, so when reported online discussion groups try to talk down Audacy, the owner of two of three newsradio stations TSV listens to first thing in the morning, TSV has the right and the duty to question claims of Audacy's impending demise, the same way TSV successfully challenged claims of AM radio's at large impending demise, by researching how really the only thing substantively reported about Audacy's troubles was their delisting from the New York Stock Exchange. TSV points out, though, that they were delisted for offering a low stock price, not for their stock going down, and in any case they're still on the Russell 500. He's not saying Audacy is here to stay, because of course there will always be a new buyer if that ever becomes necessary. Regardless of what Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg try to get their marketing trolls to say about AM radio on the discussion groups, there being 40 or 50 million listeners on AM is still a big enough demographic chunk not to leave money on the table, regardless of whether AM itself is as big of a cash cow as Space Laser Social Media or Smartphone Clickbait. TSV will -never- crawl to either of those for first hand information about current events. As an immediate example after the Glenn Hauser reports on Audacy, the troll attacks on AM radio he sees as standing in stark contrast to the latest alarmism about the CPB, which also helps fund NPR, whose journalistic integrity TSV finds questionable at best for both their attacks on Biden and what he sees as disinformation about the leadup to Russia's invasion of Ukraine a year and a half ago. Supporting the CPB he sees as generally the right thing to do, but he sees the alarmism thereof to be highly misplaced because there's mixed control in the government between the two parties, and CPB he doesn't see likely to die, and he hopes the activists aren't looking past NPR's quetionability. He's hoping that the same activists also demand that NPR cease its status as a mouthpiece for Musk and Zuckerberg and big tech and Russian and Chinese and similarly adversarial global interests around the world. Once the CPB is saved, TSV doesn't believe the activists will move to make demands of NPR accordingly, but instead try to pursue other guilt trips on the populace.
