att. President Trump Communications, media

If President Trump wants to fix communications in the community if he wants to establish civil compromise between colors and or race and put Americans back to work all at the same time he should start with our local radio stations. We all know president Trump is not fond of some of the coverage he's received pro election and today.
 Radio stations are given a license because they provide a service to a community. The services are tangible helpful life changing to all people in a community. of all ages. all races all religions!
School closings, weather alerts, public service announcements, food drives, hat and glove drives, broadcast from events to fight cancer the list goes on and on..... Now that automation has moved into radio and the stations have consolidated so that there is four stations in one building. Now one worker loads the computer for four stations. As opposed to eight to 16 prior to automation.
 That one person running four station don't have time to attend city council meetings on the first Monday of the month. city-council-should-face-terrorism.html
 If four stations use to do four food drives and four stations are lucky to do one food drive how it that a service to a community? When I did a morning show on wmxe 102.5 in adrian Michigan it was my responsibility to my listeners every day convey their needs to one another because together people help each other out.a-letter-from-scott-to-rest-of-world.html
 I quit the radio station after Friends Communications wrote me up for not going to the tower site and fixing the air conditioner on Easter Sunday.( I had done it six months prior when the engineer was on vacation in mexico and the transmitter had overheated and forced the station off the air . It pulled me off a weekend roof job (radio pays crap) took until 11 p.m to fix and they gave me a bag of donuts for getting us back on the air. Easter Sunday Jeff King the engineer was at the tower site Bob Elliot told him not to fix it, to have me come and fix it.. I work for donuts right?no-shoes-no-shirt-no-service.html  

Sorry about the rant: I've been a dumb roofer ever since that.
I enjoyed doing the food drives, the fund raisers helping people help each other that's what local radio does. keeps listeners informed every second they reach for the dial. that's the communication that's been stripped from the community!
After I had left the radio station I took on roofing full time. I was in Wauseon Ohio roofing a storage unit for Bob Godfry I was listening to my predecessor wmxe 102.5 when a weather forecast came on. The dj was calling for snow 23 degrees.  It was sunny out and almost 80 degrees. I told my friend Matt who I had given a job to "do you hear that" I asked him "yeah He's calling for snow" he said to me... "that's me" I told him "listen". It sure was me. The computer had somehow pulled a different weather number out of the computer. my weather hadn't been deleted . Is that a service to a community?
