radio in an emergency
Submitted by rocky on Tue, 12/11/2007 - 8:15am.

For 6 days and nights we had no electricity or phone. Radio was our only news and entertainment. Here is what we found. While the religious station was down we could get KTIL in Tillamook and their reporting was good but the sheriff's report was endless lies and hype.
OPB continuous loop was terribly boring. Both local and NPR was same ol, same ol. We are very limited to what local stations we can receive. KEX was mediocre in the morning talk show with Paul Linnman, all other Portland stations, we could get, were not aware of our plight.
Than when the religious station got power we could no longer receive KTIL or any FM station, other than KOPB...as I said, a drag.
I wish we could have heard the Seaside endeavor. You are so right about local stations being so necessary and yet treated so shabbily by our FCC. Money is the calling card of Big Media, and the FCC is always willing to take it.
