Albany, NY's local AM station has been taken over by neocon syndicated hosts and has absolutely no local focus at all. It drove me crazy when I tried to find out what the heck was going on around me when Irene went through here, and then a tornado cut a 5 mile path through the area. I scanned the AM dial for a local broadcast and could find nothing at all. The last local talk show host was disposed of last year in favor of Glen Beck. Morning to night it is neocon followed by neocon, followed by neocon, it is sickening. So, I have been thinking, I want a radio station. Prior to this, I had been daydreaming about ways to get good internet radio shows on the airwaves around here, and those thoughts always led me to: I want a radio station. This morning, I searched online for radio stations for sale and found several brokerages with a surprising number of listings nationwide. There is one about which I am going to inquire, somewhere in my area, I believe, by its description. The asking price is $400k. I don't have that kind of cash, so it gets me thinking... Probably no one but the Clear Channels of the word has that kind of cash lying around, but how about forming an investment group and start by buying one or two stations, and building a national network from there? I'd love to brainstorm this with some of the business and investment geniuses here on 4um. Maybe we can start the 4um Radio network, and mix good local programming with some of the best internet programing we can find?

half a million dollars to start a radio station amounts to a pipe dream with nitemarish potential! I think a better tact would to start your own show on some network or internet venue, & if you develop a following, sell/syndicate it. There is potential .
Thats for an established station, that must be somewhat profitable already, based on the asking price. If it can break even with a good lineup of syndicated hosts, and serve up some good local stuff, it's a winner, I think. Once we have one up and running, and making some money, number two is a cinch, followed by three, four, five... pretty soon it's a real network. We all bitch about the "main stream" media, well why not start our own main stream media network?
