Subject: Media Deregulation...Do something please! |
|
Hi y'all, the FCC is thinking of changing the rules about media. They're thinking of allowing fewer large companies to own more media outlets including radio, TV, and news media. Ever notice how you hear the same song over and over again on the radio? That's due to media deregulation. If they deregulate it more, it'll only get worse. Media deregulation wouldn't allow as many different viewpoints either. Anti-big business opinions could suffer and be ignored more than they already are. The FCC is voting on this MONDAY, JUNE 2. Please, if you wanna hear some different things on the radio, you can send in a letter at www.unionvoice.org/campaign/fcc If you want more info, check out http://www.aflcio.org/issuespolitics/ns05212003.cfm or just go to a search engine and type in "media deregulation" So yeah, sorry about the short notice, and sorry if this doesn't interest you at all, but it's real important to me and its my journal, dammit! So have a nice weekend everyone, I love you. |

threshershark | Re:, 05-30-03 10:39pm So good I had to say it twice. |
Angel_Bob | 05-30-03 10:47pm Oh yeah, Kyle, you so did that on purpose.
|
Sike-a-delic_Grasshopper | 05-30-03 10:51pm Yeah I kno Kyle, but we can make it a little better now. I go looking for underground music all the time, mostly phsychedelia and stoner rock (It sounds bad but its not neccesarily) Some Christian stuff too like Chinese Happy (punk rock) and Madison Greene (Crazy tribal music) So yeah, I don't hear my music on the radio either. A good station is 88.1, independent radio. |

threshershark | Re: Re:, 05-31-03 8:42am It's alright. I do that all time.
|
Sike-a-delic_Grasshopper | Re: Re: Re:, 05-31-03 11:10am That is seriously a great idea! Or, we could be volunteer dj's at 88.1 because they can play whatever they want. Anyway, that would be cool... |
Angel_Bob | Re: Re: Re: Re:, 05-31-03 12:42pm Agreed! |
threshershark | Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:, 05-31-03 8:06pm We could maybe get a broadcasting set from a hobby shop. So, first of all, are we going to be a conservative station or a liberal station? I'd like to go for a healthy mix. In fact, screw the whole liberal/conservative thing. What's that done for our country but devide us? We're just some good friends playing music we find meaning full. We could have talk shows! And maybe commercials, I really don't see why radio stations have those though. Maybe we could make our own, or joke commercials in between. Oh I gotta go I'll be back. |

Sike-a-delic_Grasshopper | Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:, 05-31-03 10:07pm um Kyle, I hate to break it to ya, but its called VOLUNTEER dj-ing for a reason. |
Sike-a-delic_Grasshopper | 05-31-03 10:10pm Maybe sometime at school we can take over the PA system and blare any music we want all day and be all like "You people will thank me someday!" We'd probly get suspended or something, but hey... |
