There are today six conglomerate media owners in America
Minot ND. Major military accident. Poison gas escaped and all local citizens had to be told not to go outside, to remain inside their houses with all doors and windows closed. Someone had the bright idea to call the local radio station.

No one was there. Four o'clock in the morning. Clear Channel owned all of the stations in that area, and they were all closed. Another nail in the coffin of making a case for concentrated ownership of all major media outlets.

Cumulus and Clear Channel. Cumulus - 49 states went black on the Dixie chicks

A definitive list was produced by Cumulus on songs that were not allowed to be played after 911day, in 49 of the 50 states. NOTHING of Rage Against The Machine was allowed to be played.
