To listen to FOX Sports,Glenn Beck,Lady Gaga,and "Stairway To Heaven" for the 100,000,000,000,000th time?

And Dennis, I'll be able to listen to my local University supported FM OTR/streaming stations from here in Northern California, Southern Oregon and via streaming FM from San Francisco and Los Angeles.  So, maybe we're seeing a trend of educational institutions filling the gaps that were relinquished by commercial stations.  All of the stations I've mentioned have full-time classical DJ's and amazingly, well educated personnel (what else coming from Universities?) even during the necessary pledge breaks.  How much more democratic can we get in broadcasting than have listener support?  I think in our country, this kind of roots up support is the best of the American pubic which perhaps proves that we're alive and well citizens keeping good music alive, too.  I'm not a Jazz fan as much as some members of the>  ARSCLIST, but I know that all types of music and commentary are available on my dials, so to my ears, radio for me is alive and well.  Additionally, thanks to all of you, I have wonderful CD's and SACD's in case I get bored with "over the air".> > Again, a happy and thankful Fourth of July to us all!> > > ________________________________>  From: Dennis Rooney <[log in to unmask]>> To: [log in to unmask] > Sent: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 10:00 AM> Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Radio>  > > I suppose it's unsurprising that the eve of our greatest national holiday> should bring posts with political opinions.
