Back to this topic, (in a way)

Those Urban One/ Radio One have experience in running country stations and Classic Rock? Do they have plans to change the formats of any of these stations they purchased? Do they have plans to keep them as is? Did they keep all the programmers? Like same business just different owners or are they going to try to run the station and fail?
I feel like they would be stupid to completely change stations that are preforming so well. Like The Eagle for example.

Yeah. I mean, The Box and Majic have been the same formats since before Urban One bought them 23 years ago.
 
They advertise CBD products often. However, CBD is absent of THC, which is the hallucinogenic substance found in marajuana, Therefore, it is legal in all 50 states.
Not quite. CBD derived from marijuana is not legal federally, but that derived from hemp is.
 
If your employer saw you hitting CBD, THC, or hemp in a joint in a parking lot. I’m sure they’d raise questions morally
Hemp is a grass. It has no hallucinogen and does not create a high. They make rope out of it, and some kinds of fabric.

You don't "hit" CBD. Most users employ either tablets, gummies or topical creams, mostly for pain relief. Hemp based CBD is legal everywhere. And any knowledgeable employer knows that CBD is a recognized and safe substance, just as things like menthol are safe. Nicotine is far more damaging that CBD is.

THC is the substance in cannabis that creates a "high" or altered state.

Yes, they are successfully running the former Emmis stations in Indianapolis. All you have to do is get the right programmers and sellers.

Precisely. And this translates into elevated ratings, because the quality content will result in more people tuning into the station, which results in higher billing. On the flip side, if you don't offer quality content, then you will lose audience share, and therefore you will have less billing. This is the primary reason KLLS failed, because music is no longer a viable format for AM, and most of the time the station was operating under a series of Silent STAs. A silent station offers zero content, and generates zero billing.

Too many fail to realize that radio is a business, and it needs to be run like any other business.
 
How certain are y’all that they flip it to KLove and not to AIR1?
K-Love is their dominant format and the one that produces the most in donations. And that is the name they paid "big bucks" to get released for use in Houston.
 
That's what I said. CBD does not contain THC, and is legal in all 50 states.
CBD and THC are separate substances. Cannabis contains both, while hemp, of the two substances, only contains CBD.

CBD derived from cannabis is not legal in the United States. CBD extracted from hemp is.

Cannabis is a plant. Hemp is a plant. Each contain CBD, but the CBD from the cannabis plant is not legal.

I assume CBD from hemp or cannabis would show up in an employer's drug test whether THC accompanies it or not. If so, could a positive test mean trouble for an employee, or is it only THC that employers are testing for?

I have some minor pain issues and, in retirement, occasionally use CBD/THC gummies for a few hours of added comfort -- and a pleasant high. I thought about using the CBD-only gummies while I was still working, but didn't because I didn't want to risk a drug positive should I seek a new job. Could I have used them with no concerns as a working man?

You would pop on a screening the same as you would eating poppy seeds. It's not the THC in your system being tested, per se, but the AMOUNT of it in that is in your system. A few gummies will pass through your urine in a couple of days. Smoke an ounce of grass, and you're dirty for a month, at least.

Good question. I'd like to know if CBD causes a false THC test, as I've been using it for years for back pain, both in capsules and lotions.

There are several CBD only shops here. They mention "only from Hemp... no THC" in their literature, signage and websites. And at least one of them, located on "El Paseo" which is the 5th Avenue or Rodeo Drive of our market.

One such CBD shop advertises on radio and TV locally. I don't hear or see any negative comments, and this market has so little "breaking news" that any protests would have been covered amply and excessively.

But nearly all commercialized CBD comes from hemp in the US. The owner of a CBD store here mentioned that using cannabis to extract CBD destroys the THC, which is not economically smart.

This is true. You know, I have found that for my aches and pains, one bud of grass soaked inside of a bottle of isopropyl alcohol is an amazing solution to what ails me. It works wonders, and I've become a firm believer in it. I would likely fail a drug screening, but it certainly is nice to get out of bed in the mornings and not have a hard time doing it.
