KFAB was a Cadillac, now it is an Edsel. KFAB was most the admired radio station in the area. Thanks to "Clear Channel" Communications, from the top of the heap to the bottom of the barrel is where you will find KFAB. That tragedy is radio broadcasting nation-wide. Radio went from live, local, informative and entertaining to a computer in a closet. In the case of "Clear Channel," and their stable of stations in Omaha, some programmer in San Antonio is deciding what is good for us. This coming from the decision making of a corporation that has taken a proud industry (radio broadcasting) and turned it into a 20 Billion Dollars bankruptcy.
What happened to the "Fairness Doctrine?" What happened to the "Equal Time" rule? I know what happened! They when by the wayside with the deregulation of the broadcast industry. That once proud industry is gone. Just one more thing. Go out in the country, listen to some small market radio stations. The best of radio is still around. But only because "big business" has not corrupted them yet.
