If I don’t see you, we’ll all know why / I’ll try to find you, left of the dial

Tomorrow’s The New York Times has an interesting article about how right wing Christian broadcasting networks are buying up radio stations in the non-commercial section of the FM band and driving NPR stations off the air. I know some high-tech mavens like to claim that the era of spectrum scarcity is over, but they should tell that to the people of Lake Charles, Louisiana. The technology may exist, but there’s a huge infrastructure in place on the ground, and the regular AM and FM and TV bands are still going to be with us for a long time, no matter what David Reed says.
