Soros makes big move into Radio: Audacy Reorganization Plan Approved By US Bankruptcy Court

...The multi-million dollar payday will provide the troubled broadcaster with even more cash on hand after its equity interest in BMI sold brought in $25.4 million, following the music rights firm’s sale to New Mountain Capital.

Soros Fund Management will become Audacy’s principal shareholder after acquiring over $414 million of Audacy’s senior debt, surpassing other key investors. This stake constitutes about 40% of Audacy’s total senior debt....


TOPICS: Culture/Society
KEYWORDS: radio; soros
Soros’ acquisition of Audacy, one of the most important private broadcast enterprises in the country, is bad news for the struggling radio industry and terrifying news for free speech advocates.

Just absolutely wonderful. As it is, I get uninvited notifications from Audacy (never signed up for them) when anything goes even slightly wrong for The Trumpster.

Agreed

Haven’t listened to antenna radio in many moons.

Audacy owns the two radio stations I used to listen to half a century ago when I lived outside of Philly, KYW and WIP. It was a very different time.

Soros is wasting this time and money, so great. It’s a just like broadcast TV. Everyone ran to cable as the alternative. Then everyone cut the cord to run away from 500 channels of dreck. Same with radio. Ain’t no one gonna listen to left-wing programming. This has been tried many times. A lot of people left radio altogether and have shown a willingness to pay for radio to get away from commercials and idiotic juvenile DJs. So yeah, buy em up Nazi boy.

Most important? I checked and the most important station found is in New York City. The rest are cats and dogs. NPR has already proved that radical talk radio doesn’t sell, so what is the Soros gang up to?

When people still have the right to choose no matter how many radio stations you infect if no one is listening what’s the point

So Soros has exerted massive control over the news and information we get on the highly moderated, edited internet and now he’s getting into radio, but lotsa people don’t care, because radio doesn’t matter, ‘cause they get their news and information on the internet. Right?

Yes. You get it. The degree of control Soros exercises over information in this country is amazing. MoveOn, WikiMedia Foundation (controlling the dominant “encyclopedia,”) and Media Matters are just the most public umbrella organizations. “Conservative columnist” is a career-death-sentence job title. Hundreds of millions of his dollars go to killing free speech, he has the kids and the schools, and he is winning. Americans don’t seem to care.
