Those stations operate as noncommercial stations. Their licenses are not noncommercial. When the city was looking to unload WNYC and WNYC-FM, one possibility was selling those licenses to commercial broadcasters. The same is being discussed now for WBAI.
And if they do, they will have to convert the license to commercial before they sell, as the Family Radio people did with WFME. The filing of that paperwork was our first indication that Family was about to sell.
Everywhere? I posted it in two categories: New York and News-Talk. It is relevant in both. Too bad that reality makes you so uncomfortable.
Again, practice those liners.

You posted the exact same thing twice in the same thread. Perhaps you are the one who needs to practice something. I'd start with original thoughts if I were you.
You live in New York City. You're not living in reality. You live in a fairy tale world of $6000/month studio apartments and everything produced by people who work in those states you think are irrelevant. Your very food, water and power are provided by people who very much enjoy the talk radio you hate so much. If you weren't such a hateful person, you'd show some gratitude.

Types like you always profess to be the spokesmen and protectors of those poor souls out there in 'flyover". Fact is, if you are doing the kind of cynical, biased and pandering show that now typifies the genre, you are just profiting by manipulating those you pretend to care about.
Since you'll never post an aircheck nor tell us who you are, you are free to hide behind self-serving screeds with nothing to back them up.

Actually, the stations filed to be considered noncommercial as is noted in the license data as "WNYC operates as a noncommercial educational station". As there are no noncommercial channels on AM, this is done on a case by case basis. If the station were sold to a commercial broadcaster, a filing would be made to convert the license to commercial, similar to what was done for WNSH to become commercial.
But, since the FCC considers them non-commercial, they are so licensed.
It would take anyone with two brain cells to run together 30 seconds to find out who I am. I don't claim to be anyone important or even to be a great talk host. I'm just someone who knows how the business works, unlike you.
If you are so well-known -why not just tell us who you are. Don't be shy now...We won't leave a horse's head on your doorstep.

Actually, his show is quite good. His on-air persona is very appropriate for his market. No. Let me re-state that... I don't want it to sound like: For a "small market" it sounds good. For ANY market the sound is quite good. I was trying to say he "localizes" a lot of stuff.
I frankly expected to hear something different.... maybe something a bit more "in your face". (I'm still trying to figure out why some of US come across on a forum screen more in-your-face that what we do "off screen".)
Yes, his show is biased. He presents from a conservative view. But cynical and pandering.... no! But if I went to his market in another time slot or another station and presented from "three windage clicks to the left" I don't know that it would gather a large audience.
Now, Chan. You have left us with one remaining puzzle that maybe we should start a whole new thread to discuss sometime. "What is YOUR visioon of Fly-Over country?" I think in political terms we often think of fly-over country as the highly populated flat country in places like Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, etc.... simply country with a lower population density per square mile. A place where it would probably too long a walk to not drive to your Lions Club or Rotary meeting. But then, there is rugged, rural America. A place where someone might say: "Climb in the pick-up and ride with me out to check on my cattle and we can talk." And FOUR HOURS LATER he brings you back to where you got into the truck. There are the mountain communities of the three major continental divides in this country. Those communities may need a classification that is different than typical "fly-over country".
The problem with The Mets on WOR is that they are now on a station that is getting lower ratings than they had before. So the move for The Mets has not paid off, even though it has helped WOR. At this rate, they'll have more listeners on 1050 than on 710.

I'm not. Not at all. I'm not even the most famous radio personality with my name.
Because it's fun.
I get paid to be fair and non-confrontational. It's my job. When I come home I like to joust a bit with people. It's certainly never personal.
Because they like it?
I still keep asking where are the millenials who will to take over these jobs? I cant find any can you? Thats why radio is dying there is no one on the bench all the top players are on the field..that's radio today!
You raise a very good point. I didn't even get into radio until I was in my mid 30s. I was a couple years younger than my immediate boss and only about 10 years younger than my PD, who's been in the business for 30 years.
There are young people getting into radio, or trying. But it's increasingly hard, and almost none of them are doing talk.
Maybe not in NYC, but if you go anywhere else, the average age of the employees is about 35. The big companies keep firing the veterans. Lots of young people.
What about talk? The small sample of hosts that I personally know are mostly a bit older than me, and I'm in my early 40s.
