    Why does 99.5 FM hate New Orleans?

    14th September 2009

    This might be a good question for the FCC to answer.

    Just how is it that an out-of-town company, Clear Channel, which sponsors so many nationally-syndicated voices of hatred against New Orleans on our airwaves, is allowed to retain its license to broadcast in New Orleans?

    If station managers truly respected local input on programming, and if the FCC truly allowed local input on licensing decisions, we might actually be able to find public squares on the airwaves where hatred and demagoguery is replaced with informed, civil discourse.
