You May Hate NPR. But Killing CPB Puts Rural America at Risk? Me, have to pay?
« on: July 27, 2025, 1840 UTC »
OK... I had to respond to this one RW rip,   https://www.radioworld.com/columns-and-views/guest-commentaries/you-may-hate-npr-but-killing-cpb-puts-rural-america-at-risk   Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Let's see... I seem to remember that it was NPR that help to kill the Low Powered FM 10 Watt, Class 'D' stations in 1977. And, it took America almost 25 years to get back a water-down LPFM service again. So, does 'Empty-PaR' get any sympathy from me for having the feds slash their funding? Um, hell no!!! If, that service is indeed that needed, then the locals, in the coverage areas, can fund those themselves. I can't get any government funded grants, so why the hell should they? Just sayin'...

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.
