The Telecom Act was supposed to help. It did the exact opposite. 👀

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 was supposed to diversify radio and make it easier for more people to get on the air.

Instead? iHeart, Townsquare, and Cumulus bought everything — and playlisting killed local radio for good.

TLC blew up in Atlanta first. Boyz II Men in Philly. Destiny's Child in Houston. Shai on DC's Home Jams. That world is gone.
