This is being done to increase the amount of revenue for stations.

With digital, you can have multiple streams on each station.  Like digital terrestrial TV did for us.

Now, you can sell commercials to multiple "channels".  More sales = more revenue!

Nevermind the fact that radio is dying.  I work on multiple job sites and ONE person uses a radio.  He only listens to extreme right wing conservative talk shows.

Not one other person, out of the multiple job sites spread across the state use a radio.  The stream off their phones.  I admit, I do the same thing.  15 bucks a month and I don't have to listen to a single commercial.  When I don't have signal on the phone I can still listen to the music I've marked for offline listening.

As the radio listening public ages and dies, less and less people will want to even listen to AM radio.  It's a dying demographic.

Wonder what happened to the buggy whip manufacturers years ago?

You won't hear how most Americans really feel watching The View.

And you don't hear how most American's really feel by listening to those shows, either.

Because people aren't allowed to discuss politics (or religion) in most public forums.

And most people want to watch the History Channel and Discovery Channel so they agree to pay for several other channels spewing vile disgusting lies, misdirection, half-truths, out of context conclusions and trying to create the sense that anyone who's watching is in the minority with success in many instances.

The price of gas, food, housing and the crime rate are what people are really concerned about. Not alphabet soup and inclusivity. That’s just a diversion.
