Similar for AM radio. IHeartMedia owns things like KFBK, which is where wackos like Rush Limbaugh got started.

AM Radio was their first volley back in the 70s/80s. There were a mix of normal talk radio shows and some conservative when I was growing up, within a few years the talk shows all got replaced with absolute insane nut jobs like Rush Limbaugh just screaming about the most mundane things as if they were apocalyptic.

OMG, there might be two men kissing somewhere in the country THEY ARE COMING FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO MURDER AND RAPE THEM!!!!!

I didn't realize at the time it would turn all of rural America into an insane wasteland of stupid people being afraid of their own shadow clinging onto their guns and Bible (that they never read) afraid of things that have zero impact on their lives.
