The left always shuts down comments when they don't like them. So much for freedom of thought.
Are you aware that there is a group lobbying to limit the number of secular stations in the US? Since the FCC is focused on emerging media, it very well could gain traction.

You should support the movement, Kristian broadcasters seek to limit all kinds of free thought.

First, it's hilarious that you're calling me a leftist because I recognize that Trump is a garbage human being. Christian radio is hot garbage and a waste of space.
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

I don't like this move. Michigan Public Media would've been a much better name than "Michigan Public."

There was nothing wrong with the Michigan Radio name, either. They should've left it alone.

There was a lot wrong with the "Michigan Radio" name. The name implies that WUOM and it's repeaters are a state public radio network. There are some of those: Minnesota Public Radio, Wisconsin Public Radio and several others around the country. But not in Michigan. And a couple of repeaters does not make a single station into a network.
