Soros is Coming For Your Audacy

Audacy set to emerge from bankruptcy with George Soros' help. I can hear the screeches, hollering and the stamping of tiny little feet from the right wingnut hatchery.

'Soros-Backed Group Wins FCC Approval for US Radio Stations'
"(Bloomberg) -- Audacy Inc., the bankrupt radio broadcaster, won regulatory approval for the transfer of its licenses to a nonprofit funded by billionaire George Soros, paving the way for the company to emerge from Chapter 11.

Under the restructuring approved by the court in February, the new, closely held company will be controlled by the Fund for Policy Reform, a Delaware nonprofit, according to an FCC filing Monday. It will be governed by a four-person board, including Alexander Soros, son of the billionaire investor."

They've already started.
From the same article:
"Republican Representatives James Comer of Kentucky and Nick Langworthy of New York, both members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, announced an investigation into the FCC’s approval proceedings last week. They said the agency overlooked foreign ownership concerns to facilitate Soros’ ownership stake.
“The FCC appears to be bypassing standard processes and procedures in an unprecedented way to benefit a Democrat megadonor acquiring a major equity stake in hundreds of local radio stations across the country,” they said in a letter."

"In response to the Republicans, Field said the FCC considered Audacy’s transfer application for months longer than it had in prior radio conglomerate restructuring efforts.

“Under Trump and Biden, they were handled and approved in less than three months,” Field said."

Mr. Comer should look into I Heart Radio....

Car companies have been wanting to get rid of AM radios in cars for a while now, with the Repukes adamantly opposed. Because, of course, AM is one of the primary means of disseminating Reich-wing propaganda, though possibly not quite so much now with the worst of the propagandists (Limblow) six feet under. I wonder if these same Repukes will change their views on this matter now?

Because not everyone can stay glued to FAUX news* 24/7. Although some have tried.

AM is there for anyone that can make it profitable, that's the challenge. Counterprogramming that works against populist propaganda disinformation.
Btw, is there an outhouse over Limblow's grave yet?
