Losing Local Voices in Colorado News Media
Put the kids to bed a little earlier tonight to catch my TV show Devils Advocate on Colorado Public Television Channel 12. I’ll be chatting with Independence Institute investigative reporter Todd Shepherd and President/CEO of the Colorado Broadcasters Association Justin Sasso on the decline of local voices in our news media. We’ve lost some great local columnists, talk show hosts, radio hosts, editorial writers, and even cartoonists in the past few years. As someone who enjoys the local perspectives, what can we do to mitigate these changes? Tune in tonight to Colorado Public TV, channel 12 at 8:30, repeated the following Monday at 1:30pm.
I can’t say I’m real suprised, for quite awhile KOA was almost the ONLY Clear Channel owned station that had soo much local programming.
I guess it’s more important to have yet ONE MORE STATION carrying “Coast To Coast” instead of Colorado radio LEGEND Rick Barber.
KOA…it was great while it lasted, I was afraid CC would eventually bring the chain saw in and destroy you.
