This story made the rounds through NPR and other outlets which still actually feature information not involving a bigoted Barbie changing networks.
I don’t know the numbers and logistics for Norway but ‘Merica could go forward on this too. Practically everyone has a cell phone by now to be notified of an emergency, fewer and fewer are listening to ad-riddled FM anymore, including “underwritten” NPR affiliates; and active TVs are almost everywhere. Should there be a true emergency, I’m confident Faux News will not bother due to facts having a Librul bias and I’m good with them dying off.
What could we do with all that freed up FM bandwidth? Not sure. Maybe some telecommunication stuff the Republicans will auction off at a pittance. Whatever weakens the media barons I’m all for.
