Sound scary??? Guess what? It just happened.

Soros just bought the #2 radio media giant in the nation with over 220 radio stations around the country, and it gets even better! The FCC is fast-tracking the buyout agreement for Soros so he can get everything up and running, you guessed it...BEFORE the ELECTIONS!!! HOORAY!! HIP-HIP-HOORAY!!!

Oh yeah...here's the link/source.

Report: FCC Fast-Tracking Soros Radio Takeover...

And I thought talk radio was going down like print media. Oh well, something not to listen to I guess.

Does ANYONE still listen to radio?
Better yet, is there ANY radio still worth airing?

The last time I ever listened to radio news was when Paul Harvey was on the radio. Don’t think I’ll be starting back anytime soon.

Well, Audacy does more than just over-the-air radio. They also host audio streaming services and podcast type content over both satellite and the internet. They're the #2 audio content provider in the US next to i-Hart radio.

So, yes, I would say they are very relevant in the sphere of what people listen to. Also, don't forget it's not just talk-radio, it's also promotional content and advertising on streaming music services also (and these don't even have to be audio; they can be video and/or static.).

Goes to show.
Too much time on ATS, not enough time listening to podcasts.....


Actually I totally missed the boat with talk radio. I abhor it in all forms. Same with audiobooks. I have a terrible time paying attention for more than a few minutes.

Oh great, We will have to listen to a ton of propaganda promoted by Soros. I hope he does not take control of our local channels here.

I generally don't listen to a lot of it myself. I like it, but I'm usually to busy to pay attention to it, or stay in one place long enough to listen to it.

That said, I know a whole bunch of people whose whole day revolves around listening to talk-radio! They like plan their entire day around talk-radio shows they are religious about. I used to have this one guy who worked for me who would practically push people down if they got in his way when going to listen to Rush Limbaugh. He told me, straight-up when I hired him that his day was off-limits from 12pm (exactly) to 1pm and that was NOT negotiable! I asked him what was so important at 12pm, and he looked at me like I was the most brain-dead person on planet Earth, and said..."That's when Rush Limbaugh is on, man! Don't you know that?????" I had to give him credit for his conviction and emphasis; it was like the entire Earth stopped rotating at Noon! I didn't even know who Rush Limbaugh even was, LOL!!

I was never a big Limbaugh fan. I generally agreed with what he was saying, but he would repeat himself for 3 solid hours. I'd always tell Jamie (the guy who worked for me) that I could listen to the first 5 minutes of Rush, and then tune in 2 hours later and he'd still be saying the same thing. LOL! He'd get all excited over that.

Well, the good news just keeps coming! I get so frustrated with how easily meople are manipulated and programmed.

The DNC has pulled out all the stops in their effort to make a win believable.

With all the evidence that's come to light it's been shown if all the improper votes were removed from the final tally in 2020 Joe would have been handed his walking papers.

I'd like to think it's not going to be as easy this time, but too many people are far too easily manipulated into false figures and outright lies.

If by some strange chance they can't fake a Biden win I don't think they'll be in any hurry to ratify the election-until they can find the required number of votes to overturn the results.

The only way a Chinese style NWO can come in is if the so called free countries have all freedoms and protections removed.

Then we have Alex Jones and others on the other side.

Infowars fighting attempted shutdown

Is Soros still alive? Anyway, as a funding source, plays nasty. One thing that has stuck out with how China works, everyone is corruptible. Not everyone is to the same degree, we all make mistakes. But get enough dirt on enough people and it does provide leverage to bend the will of a nation. Event 201 was not a big one, but enough people in position to shape the agenda in how it all played out along with other corporate directives.

So now Trump supporters are under just as much attack as Trump is, while the other side is pumping mega dollars into a unified message. I hope they spend billions of dollars to get 6% of the audience.

I believe a countries media, all media, should only be owned by a person born in that country.

No foreign buyers, too much influence not in the interest of the population.

From the article:

To assume control of the bankrupt network, Soros Fund Management needs the FCC to make an exception and allow a larger than usual percentage of foreign money to purchase it.

Foreign company ownership of U.S. radio stations is not permitted to exceed 25% under existing FCC rules. A filing acquired by the Post shows that Soros asked the commission to make an exception in Audacy's case, however.

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr is sounding off about the potential agency assist, telling the Post, "The FCC should not create a special Soros shortcut."

So yeah, they understand what's happening.

So glad it isn't just me.
When the pod casts started getting big, everyone was talking about them. I just could not get into them. Like you said, same with audio books.

I do think this is BS though. And very obvious, for those that pay attention, that it is media manipulation.

Yet another area, where "we the people" have lost control.

Does ANYONE still listen to radio?

yes i do at least 8 hrs a day

Better yet, is there ANY radio still worth airing?

yes, classic rock.

Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock and roll

I listen to (local) radio just for the music and some religious stuff.

haven't listed to talk radio since Mr. Limbaugh passed.

as I recall years ago they tried a liberal talk radio network and it bombed. (Tom Daschle?)
I suspect their numbers will go down. I guess in some places there won't be much choice.

I also recall some leftist group buying up a bunch of Spanish language / Latino stations a few years go.

if they were smart they'd get some hosts that will start by sounding like Limbaugh, get the mainstream public interested, and gradually work their way left.

I had seen this earlier and the story doesn't really surprise me. Conservative talk-radio has been a thorn in the Marxist's side for years now.

However, there's a rather strange phenomenon that's been noted.......Marxist radio programs just don't do very well. Years ago someone tried to do a Leftist radio program. It lasted about 6 months. I think the problem is that Leftist programing, NPR being a good example, is so predictable that it just isn't interesting for very long. Think of the title of any news or opinion wrapped as news, story and after a few months, the average listener can pretty much fill in the blanks without ever listening to the show. So, for example, I can just scan the headlines at CNN and know what the details of the story are. The messaging is thin and repetitive.

It may well be the case that Soros ultimate plan is to tank "over the air" A.M. radio altogether. God knows they've pretty much done that with almost all TV programming, be it over-the-air, cable or digital.

They're trying to infiltrate Conservative Talk Radio !!

They'll be inserting subliminal Leftist messages !! 😬

According to a June 2023 Nielsen report, more than 82 million Americans listen to AM radio each month, which is about one in three terrestrial radio listeners. This number is even higher in the upper Midwest. 57% of AM radio listeners tune into news and talk stations, which are often used by Americans during breaking news or times of crisis

According to Nielsen Audio Today 2023, AM/FM radio reaches 91% of U.S. adults each month, which is more than any other ad-supported audio platform. This translates to approximately 272 million people.

Now, I don't always agree with Nielsen report numbers, but their it is. Regardless, many people still listen to their radios, especially to and from their place of work in their vehicles. They get hands free updates on traffic, weather and news within the breaks of their genre of listening choice. For me, it is the only time I listen to the radio and I do so almost every week day. And for some people, their to and from work travel covers a good chunk of their day.

The fact that Soros thinks he can reach listeners via the radio isn't in vain, but he may have false hope in the actual numbers. Especially since in the talk radio selections,

This audience is mostly male, middle-aged, and conservative. Among those who regularly listen to talk radio, 41% are Republican and 28% are Democrats. Furthermore, 45% describe themselves as conservatives, compared with 18% who say they are progressive/liberals.

The conservative stations dominate the AM transmissions and they are pretty passionate about their freedom of speech so it will be interesting to see if there's any conflict in possibly changing the message in those venues. FM on the other hand has a much broader audience in every sense.

This could backfire on Soros...or not. He'll do anything to destroy a country, especially one such as grand as the United States of America.

It won't affect me whatever he does. But maybe some will find their best station ever.
