If you’re listening to NPR maybe. Most FM stations in America just pump out pre-recorded programming from a centralized corporate source. There’s no “local” in corporate radio. No local DJ. No local programming. No local news.

In the states, broadcast TV will soon follow the same route as it’s no longer locally owned either.
