kbcs 91.3 voices of diversity & independent media
oh so i was listening to kbcs 91.3 on their “voices of diversity” program, and i figured i should call in because they were talking about independent media and media consolidation. so i was listening and thinking of things to say when i called in (while i was driving) and then i started writing things down. then i called in and some screener guy picked up and asked what my comment was and i was mostly terrified and shaking. but then when they picked up the phone and said my name i was calm and stuff. i shall post the link to the mp3 when it is posted on the website. but yay! first time on the radio, and a scary one it twas!

[…] MEDIA CONSOLIDATION: as a member of the indie press media consolidation is a pretty big deal to me. what is media consolidation? it is allowing the major media outlets to own up more and more of the airwaves and newspapers. they are limited to a certain percentage, and the higher the percentage they are limited to, the more difficult a time stations like kbcs would have existing. it’s a big deal to anyone who cares about getting diverse media and anyone who doesn’t just like hearing news from “the man.” but had it not been for kbcs, i would have never really heard about the issue, period. i never heard about it in the states outside of kbcs, and the only time i heard about it otherwise was on bbc news in taiwan. i mean, why WOULD the big news media outlets in the u.s. want you to know that the community is fighting against media consolidation and the FCC is for it? they wouldn’t. and they don’t. but yeah, this particular issue bothered me so much that i actually called into kbcs, which was a nerve-wracking first. this was for their show, “voices of diversity.” CLICK HERE TO READ ABOUT IT.
