That's only going to be relevant for a few more years.

Radio is doomed. It's not profitable to run without it being overloaded with ads, but even without ads the audience is going to steadily dwindle no matter what they do.

Doesn't need to be a business. Give the air space back for public use. Pbs or real local public broadcasting, etc.

They would sell the spectrum before they did something like that. Prime real estate for longer range, medium speed ISM type communications.
