Kindred to kill WRVC-FM

[Mike]

I advocate getting rid of the noncommercial "educational" broadcast band entirely and converting all existing stations there into commercial ones EXCEPT ones that are actually EDUCATIONAL stations. As in stations that train broadcasters, such as WMUL. About the only role students get at taxwastes like 89.1 is possibly sweeping the floor.

Government has no place in broadcasting in a free country.

Screw you guys.

Get your asses above 92.1.

I like NPR, PRI, ect.

Stop bitching about the dial. The non-comm. band is still available to educational operations that want the bandwidth. (...a hell of a lot more room than the commercial band).

Send a note with your tax-returns outlining the specific programs you want YOUR money to fund.

(P.S. You think WMUL went on-the-air without a dime of taxpayer money?)

If there wasn't a non-comm band, I suspect that there would be far fewer college radio stations out there...

Like ... zero.

No argument. I'd rather hear commercials than those all-day beg-a-thons.

Huh? Voice of America? Radio Free Europe?
Two examples of "government broadcasting" at its finest.

It would be really funny if Southern Com in Beckley ever tries to move WAXS to Mossy with their other signals.

I've thought of that too.

KD8JEB can be, (and has been) bought on occasion.
