Starting a Progressive AM Radio Station. [View all]
OK... I'm on a mission and this is my new pipe dream. Hearing about the obliteration of the progressive radio station in Portland Oregon by Clear Channel, and the fact that hate radio is the educator of America in politics, AND the fact that there is nothing progressive in broadcasting where I live... I am thinking of starting a progressive radio station. I mean, somebody has to do it. What else can I do to help progressive thought get into the minds of the idiots of secluded Right Wing America? What else can I do to help undermine hate radio? I've X'd out the idea of blowing up hate radio stations.. too right wing.. and self-immolation is too hazardous to the environment, so... why not? I know quite a bit about electronics and I don't see why I couldn't pull it off. I can deal with the physics of transmission but I don't know that much about radio or the laws. As a citizen I am allowed broadcast on AM up to a certain wattage... and this is the kicker.. I have access to 2 ideal locations to get the most out of that wattage with an antenna on the roof... so why the hell not? I'm very sure I could get at least 1 1/2 miles, maybe 2, which would include close to 300,000 people (a guess), a State University and....the STATE CAPITOL!
Is this a stupid idea? Does anyone have any better ideas or want to brain storm this thing? Go ahead and break the bubble if you can... we'll see. Yeah, this is pipe dream stuff, but I have the ability, the means to get started and the physical location to do it. So, who knows?
