And that’s the core issue here, media consolidation. Local news companies, radios, even some businesses you may not expect are all backed by large corporations that bulk-buy stations. It’s very hard to find independent local businesses in media because A) rich people love controlling the populace and B) a lot of this benefits from economies of scale, which is unfortunate. For instance music licensing, then sub-licensing, is a very good way to redistribute music legally.
