Back in the day normal folks owned radio stations. I went to public school with a guy whose family had been running a few stations for years.
Since it was locally run you’d actually get local bands played, and local sports broadcasts. And DJs who could play songs they liked instead of the same 50 songs in a loop.
We had a community owned station here in St. Louis called Kdhx that used to be so fucking awesome but some greedy fuck got put in charge and ran it into the ground and now it’s in the process of being sold to some Christian network or some shit. Really a bummer cos a station like that was just so great and locally informative without any purpose other than to help promote the arts of the community
Community radio kicks ass. My local community radio is the only station I'll ever tune to.
