Limbaugh on College Radio?!

Re: Distorting life under the Fairness Doctrine

While I'll condede that, toward the end of the so-called
"Fairness Doctrine" there were a few decent shows it was
NOT broad-based. From having worked in the indusry since
the 1950's I can relate, with authority, that the vast
majority of stations totally avoided controversial subjects.
Not so much for fear of loss of license as fear of the cost
of defending lawsuits. And, back then, lawsuits were not
nearly as thick on the ground as they are in recent years!

Talk radio was an abberation, offered only by the very
brave with very, very deep pockets and great lawyers on
retainer!<P ID="signature">______________

Thanks for your comments! I wanted to clear a couple of things up... I may have been mis-understood at one point. Premiere Radio is interested in us airing Rush because we are in an area that doesn't pick up Rush...no local radio stations are airing the show. They are interested in us airing the show, but they didn't seek us out--and they aren't "begging" us to air it. We would fit in their network is what I meant to say.

There is another Talk station in town--they don't air Rush...not sure why...they do air O'Reilly, and Ramsey... but no Rush..

I agree with College being a time to experiment in Radio--and I think this may be an interesting experiment...As a college radio station that is also commercial we have an very different view... we can't be a successful "College" station AND a successful commercial station. We have to program to our audience..we have to program what sells...and in this case it is definately not College Indie Rock music..that doesn't sell here. Rush would--mainstream alternative/Hot AC does--

As a student manager, I think it's a great environment to learn how radio really works--because let's face it...as much as it makes a lot of us sick... radio is about making money... and that's exactly what we're trying to do.

Again, thanks for your comments... if we (and the decision would be made by students) decide to air Rush--I'll be sure and let you know how it goes..

On another note--anybody know where we can get a starguide reciever for cheap?! :)


Thanks!!

Re: Has ***Ed Schultz*** approached you yet?

Who is "R-I" and what do you mean in this context by selling a "banner ad?"

OA, Why don't you and the other person here with "alledgedly" approximately eight pseudonyms just drop the Basham thing, OK? It's really getting old.

Some of us on these forums live or have lived in greater Vegas/Henderson/Boulder City, so we know Basham as that market's #1 local progressive talk host. Maybe you haven't lived there, so why not just refrain from all these never ending posts about this host, on this board and other forums. I enjoy your informative posts, and I already know your thoughts on Mr. Basham. Sincerely, -tom

Tom, why do you always put what the other person has said in your posts?

"you wrote"....

Tom, it's not necessary to remind the person what they said--nor is it completely necessary to remind /or inform other readers of what the poster you're addressing has previously stated. (I'm sure they can figure that out for themselves. They can read, Tom!!) Okay?

The "you wrote" business is annoying, and you need to stop it, Tom!

Also.....Who is R-I, you ask? You're kidding, right?

And finally, who's the person that you claim has as many as eight different names on this site??---Now that's an interesting claim! Do tell, Tom! Do tell!

Well! I can't say. The theory is that they have about eight seperate LOG-IN names... I never would reveal confidential info like that on public forums. If someone is going to have eight seperate LOG-IN's then why do they use the same sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation for all of their accounts?
 
Re: Has ***Ed Schultz*** approached you yet?

I'll adress a couple issues here:

1. R-I is RadioInfo.com, abbreviated.

2. A banner ad is an ad that appears on websites. In this case it would be an ad for Basham on the Radio-Info.com website. This may be a possblility in the future. I don't think R-I is ready to take ads yet. But if Basham is interested, email me. I'll get you the info you need.

3. "2001" posted that when you type "you wrote" it annoys him. You may not be aware of this BUT when you click to reply to a post the ">" symbol appears in front of the post you are replying to. You do not need to type "you wrote", it is implied with the ">". But then again, IIRC (If I Recall Correctly), you have a problem with the replied post scrolling across the screen right? So my guess is that you delete those characters and "reframe" the post so it fits. Am I correct? So, 2001, I think that is why he types "you wrote", or "2001 said". It might be annoyng for some of you, but it may be a necessity because of the system he uses to surf the net.

Hmmmm......interesting.

Still annoying, however.

But the bigger/larger issue in my mind is who it is he claims has at least eight names on this site. (Eight names, Tom?.....Now is that eight names he or she has had in the past, or is it eight names he or she has presently?)

if its going to happen...let it happen with transparancy....im sure there is some effort by some right winger or this "student" claiming that Rush is not available to the other stations in the area.....just not buying that at all.....

I am surprised there are no other stations in town they'd bother to approach, and having a commercial college radio station seems rarer still, but hey.

My first reaction is that college radio stations should be doing their own shows and not start down the road to turnkey talk or music formats. That's what the rest of the dial is filled with already! Second, you can expect a huge protest from the student campus, especially if their money is helping to pay for the station. It's the perfect storm of protest - Limbaugh is a natural target, the students don't have to go far to protest, and they have an excellent shot at prevailing.

Our local public radio station rebroadcasts some of its AM content on a non-commercial FM college station, primarily because their night pattern on the AM makes the signal useless in suburbs at night. But even that raised a lot of questions in the community.

If your station has quality programming on now run by students, I wouldn't displace it just to run Limbaugh.
 
Apparently the station is commercial. Lots of publicity possible, when the Socialist Student Union and all the other psuedo-marxist groups on campus start protesting!<P ID="signature">______________

I have never suggested banner adds for ANY talk host on this forum and I have no idea why Akronite brought this up. You continue:

reply:
I am aware of the hatch marks. Yes, sometimes text will scroll for miles across the screen. Some have complained to me that there is no differentiation between what they wrote and my text in my responses to their posts. That is why I specify, "tom responds," or "reply." My guess is that this problem is a result of the browser that I use. I wish that Benoit and 2001 would stop complaining about such trivial matters.

Old Akronite was the one suggesting it because you promote him (Basham)incesantly. Alot of your posts turn into commercials for him (I don't mean to be harsh, but it's the truth). We let it slide because you generally ad good content worth reading with it, so it doesn't read like a commercial. But at some point, Radio-Info may decide to post ads, and OA was suggesting that Basham buy one in return for all the free promotion he has gotten on this board.

It doesn't bother me, or most users here so don't worry about it. I think these guys sometimes try to find reasons to nitpick with people they disagree with for the sake of arguing. It's like when some people try to compliment their argument by pointing out that there was a word mispelled in the post they are replying to. They think adding the grammar police to their arguement makes them smarter. I've had someone jump on me for mispelling a word, only that they mispelled two in their response. It takes away one's credibility to start looking for errors and typos and ridiculing someone's writing style. <P ID="signature">______________

Yes, "1984". That's what popped into my head and I almost wrote "Ministry" instead of "Department of".

Despite the fact that I was born in Cleveland and can even remember when Dennis "The Menace" Kucinich was mayor, I don't recall having heard of The Department Of Peace idea.<P ID="signature">______________

So is benoit the one with eight different names?

P.S. Yeah, it's "trivial"....but like I keep saying.....annoying, even so.
Hey, at least I'm not part of the "grammar police" that Cab was talking about. :)
