Re: This is a great idea

quote:
Instead of trying to stick it to licensees with what amounts to regulatory extortion, the FCC should simply require local content again, produced for the community of license. Ascertainment Interviews, Issues and Programs lists, news and public affairs requirements, et. al. were a pain in the ass but it did get at least basic service to the CoL. And it helped localize radio and to a certain extent TV. Radio sold its soul when it eliminated the local DJ.
wow never knew some stations outsource their DJs. course ive had only two primary stations in my life lol. though i wouldnt be surprised of a company named Clearchannel was the biggest offender of remote DJs.

LOL...especially since it's been around for probably 40 years.

These days instead of reel-to-reel or carts it's done via digital audio files and FTP-d or emailed right into the automation system. Nobody local even touches it.

Which is another cause of non-local radio...
