or chains. Not much chance of making them change. They are owned or backed in some cases by people who can afford to run them without a profit even if they lose advertisers.

Instead of changing them, we would do better to develop our own stations and media chains that deliver accurate reporting and support for our values, combined with entertainment that draws people in. These stations could have guests, discussions of issues, programs with topics on political norms and how government works. But entertainment is important to make it fun, in the form of music, comedians, call-in game shows with political and social questions, and maybe some old and new radio dramas. I know of a station that does radio dramas (usually old mysteries) that are popular in their listening area.

Compete hate radio out of their market by providing better alternatives. Added bonus of getting reliable information to low info people.
