I stopped listening to FM/AM radio when it became obvious owners of these radio stations were intentionally choosing to not provide left-learning programming. I remember when Mike Malloy was forced off WLS in Chicago in the late 90s when he said something on his program (think it was about Newt) that the ownership or one of the daytime hosts didn't like.

This country really needs to bring back the Fairness Doctrine.
