[Christians besting lions?]
from SLATE's news summary, 9/15/02:
>The NYT fronts the battle for airspace within the 88.1 to 91.9
zone on your FM dial. In some parts of the country, listeners
standing by for "All Things Considered" and "Car Talk" are now
being treated to "Home School Heartbeat" and the "Phyllis
Schlafly Report," as Christian stations gobble up noncommercial
space. They're taking advantage of a federal law which allows
noncommercial broadcasters with licenses for full-power stations
to trample over those with weaker signals--"the equivalent of the
varsity team kicking the freshmen out of the gym," as the Times
puts it. Many public radio stations have long been run on the
cheap, retransmitting signals from bigger stations rather than
operating full-power stations of their own, leaving them
vulnerable to savvy Christians. But stay tuned: the Birkenstock
set is rallying the troops. <
