As discussed, president Trump’s “shithole” comment illustrates the disadvantage that radio faces in debating public issues. Cable and internet and even NBC can say “shithole,” but the 15,000 radio stations in America risk huge regulatory discomfort if we say “shithole.” This is a distinct competitive disadvantage.
There’s a lot of big stuff going on in the world that effects radio.
As discussed, president Trump’s “shithole” comment illustrates the disadvantage that radio faces in debating public issues. Cable and internet and even NBC can say “shithole,” but the 15,000 radio stations in America risk huge regulatory discomfort if we say “shithole.” This is a distinct competitive disadvantage. I’m so confused.
Alexis and I just watched Saturday Night Live. Host Sam Rockwell said “f---ing” and in a video they sang “dick” and “bitch.” During the funny news segment with Colin Yost and Michael Che, they said “shithole” several times. What gives? I was laying in bed just now next to my wife. The covers were riding up on my neck, so I kicked them down with my leg.
Boy was that a mistake. Every once in a while – every six months or so – when I do this, my calf muscles go into a deep cramp. The whole lower half of my leg locks up. The weeping willow at the cemetery
waves way too wildly for my liking. Hi, hi, hi, it says when there’s a gentle wind. Whoa, look at me. I can do somersaults, it says in a windstorm. |
I run radio stations and a streaming video network in Hammond, Ind., and write this blog.
