[BC] Usefulness of EAS

[jeff at rfproof.com]

Keith is correct for most radio broadcasters. They air an intellectual and artistic wasteland. Those are most of the commercial broadcasters.

Public radio broadcasters, such as Cincinnati Public Radio's WGUC, WVXU and WMUB, and Northern Kentucky University's WNKU, WNKN and WNKE broadcast news, and, indeed, creative entertainment. WMKV, another Cincinnati area voice airs wonderful old fashioned radio, literally.

NKU's network can be heard from Richmond, Indiana to Charleston, West Virginia and everywhere in between. Our format I call 'Rock and Roll for grownups'. We are mostly music with no limited, rigid playlists and with live, on-air hosts. We have a news department and broadcast NPR news at the top of the hour.

So, great radio still exists on the public side.

>Then, it would seem that our industry has indeed outlived it's usefulness when our own people suggest that the public should turn elsewhere for news and information that has long been provided by us until recently. Corporate has eliminated local news and any form of creative entertainment.
