Re: Robservations: WLS Radio owner Cumulus Media forbids talk of ‘stolen elections’
It’s business. I don’t think it particularly bothers Cumulus or any other company if their hosts talk about this or that. They’ve peddled stuff on those stations for decades. What it does bother is advertisers. A lot of big name companies have been pulling political contributions, among other things. Those same companies could go ahead and pull advertising from this or that radio company if something is said on one of those shows. They could pull advertising not only from the station or show, but from the entire company. A couple years ago, that might not have been as big of an issue. These days, can’t afford to lose a penny in the current situation.
