You might want to look into the antics of the Boston area Clear Channel radio stations (AM1430, 94.5FM, 108FM). DJs on Clear Channel stations around the country have been engaging in derogatory behavior lately. A few stations have been promoting violence against cyclist, others have abused animals on air. The company controls over half of the country’s concert venues and owns a good portion of US radio stations. Clear Channel and Viacomm pretty much determine what music is played, and Clear Channel does determine who plays in their venues. Here in Charlotte, they own 5 radio stations, and more across the state, so as you travel you may change the dial but the noise coming out does not change.
