This report, nice video, a sound bite and no stupid commentary following the report–(CLICK HERE). Bill Wixey is usually no-nonsense. Done and done! Compliments to Mireya Garcia, doing an acceptable job with the celebrity gossip segments. I’m not a fan of that or the lifestyle shows, generally.

He repeats what the CEO said the other day, that some rural areas only have a PBS or NPR station….
That’s where they lose the argument. The station would still have the EAS equipment and be at ready like any other station. Has nothing to do with funding. If the station goes dark due to lack of funding, that is the same thing commercial stations are facing these days with lack of advertising income.
Shut them down, turn in the license.
