our big FM rock station was taken over by a conservative format.

Taken over??

Was there an assault? Armys fighting in the studios??

taken over in the way that an sub-entity in a large corporate environment is taken over, the weak faction (in this case, the former KUFO) can’t make the numbers work (this is Portland, young people consider the radio a dead language) so it’s defeated, lots of actual real local broadcasters fired, lots of people out of work, replaced by an engineer hitting buttons to play syndicated out of state shows, dull porkers, more dumb conservative bleating sheep repeating the same syndicated talking points off the fax machine, another day in the death of radio, the abandoning of it to hate talk because that’s the market!

The good news is while the 60-to-dead-guy demographic is still devotedly listening to the radio, the new generation has got far better local broadcasting in the form of podcasts, entrepreneurs doing real broadcasting and leaving the radio for dead, to incontinent grandpas

kinda sucks in a way, I like radio! But it’s just become a dogshit delivery service for racists and angry old people, so the internet it shall be
