Sinful

I find that excuse defeatist. If a wealthy, affluent, historical institution doesn’t stand up and prevent another institution from abusing power who can? It’s not like the media who were slowly neutered by their owners. They can and should do better.

Maybe a government grant via an EO can help with the legal costs?

While I agree with the sentiment, AM radio is also used for emergency broadcasts and other forms of communication. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Fix the underlying issues.

Edit: typo

If AM broadcasts lose listeners due to the bands removal from vehicles, they will also likely lose income from marketing and other revenue streams. I assume AM radio is already in a precarious entertainment space and doubt they want more risk.

The mini-disk could/should have been king!
