The Times' Sept. 13 editorial on the lack of diversity in radio was accurate in calling for the FCC to open up the airwaves to smaller, community-specific stations. In mass-market L.A. radio, the lack of diversity is particularly distressing. FM radio has been hijacked by corporations owning more than one station, which insist on "branding" their outlets to appeal to demographics based on purchasing power. No matter where you flip on the dial these days it seems you can get nothing but static in the form of entertainment.
