A question re ClearChannel...

[chiburb]

I know they're the evil empire, and I know many DUers boycott their stations. Here's the question:

How does boycotting them hurt them? I can understand not patronizing their sponsors, but what if they have a station in my market that I really enjoy? One that actually has a morning jock that makes fun of Shrub? Can I listen without guilt?

I'm so confused...

1. I Don't See Why Not

Although I do make it a point not to buy anything from the firms that advertise on Clear Channel if I'm aware they're an advertiser.

2. The likelihood of a Clear Channel Station making fun of Shrub

is next to nil. Plus, follow your own conscience, don't let us tell you what political choices to make (like this post does anyways :eyes:).

You can listen to Clear Channel stations and still protest them and/or act towards their destruction. After all, AC/DC still gets played on my local Clear Channel "rock" station, and I wouldn't want to be without Angus for too long....

3. Go ahead and listen. As long as you're not answering surveys,

Go ahead and listen. As long as you're not answering surveys from a group measuring radio-ratings, it won't affect their ratings.
