As such, we have great interest in the Commission’s efforts to eliminate the main studio rule, and we applaud the Commission’s efforts in this matter. We tender the following comments in response to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. A. A Local Main Studio is Unnecessary for the Public to Participate in Programming Many of Crawford’s stations program “God and Country” formats consisting of either religious talk, political talk or a combination of the two. These stations feature live talk including on-air guests and callers. As such, our stations are often plugged into the local community much more than stations programming music and other entertainment formats. Voices of individuals from our communities are heard on many of our stations on a daily basis. It has been our experience in recent years that it is seldom necessary for people to come to our studios in order to participate in our programming. Just about anyone can call in by telephone and gain access, and others make use of audio-over-IP codecs and other devices to convey programming from their locations to our studios. Even some of our on-air hosts do not come into our studios daily but rather do their live shows from their homes using such codecs and other devices.

Min tanke er at dette kun skulle være en subjektiv vurdering, slik at de som ønsket det kunne markere stasjoner som de opplevde som fine.
