The politicians have basically mandated that the so-called TV will go digitally very soon which will help free-up the radio waves for other uses... like tracking your every move. TV will probably go the cable route. Dems are kicking a dead horse. Anyone here understand this move better than me?

That way, the popular hosts will be able to meet their bills and earn a living; the others that no one wants to listen to will just go bankrupt, and hopefully just go away.
