While Clear Channel Defends Itself To Washington (NY Times), the San Francisco Bay Guardian provides a first hand account of one of its radio station takeovers (KMEL, San Francisco):
Urban radio rage
When Clear Channel bought KMEL, it destroyed the so-called people’s station. Now the people want it back.
By Jeff Chang.
If the changes that began in 1996 began to turn off some longtime KMEL listeners, the Oct. 1, 2001, firing of radio personality and hip-hop activist David “Davey D” Cook
If we have our way we will give the radio stations back to the people. We are forming a nonprofit association called “Alliance For The Independent Artist And Songwriter AIM” We an Attorney doing the ground breaking right now and met in Nashville, Tn yesterday july 26th 2003 in regards to this. We have had investigators working on this and believe that there is probable cause to suspect violation of the Sherman act Article 15 section 2 and many many others.
We plan to file a major class action.
