Employment tax revenue?
Not so long ago, there was a natural disaster that should’ve been broadcast from the local station. The station, being a part of a larger conglomerate, was automated; so, the information wasn’t relayed quickly enough. While that was a case of gross negligence, the proposal consists of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.Many of the locally owned, Mom and Pop rural stations just can’t afford 24-7 staffing.
