They used to have a reputation for employing smart people… Dumbass middle managers took over a while back and started making the stupidest decisions.

No fucking way. It’s a PMA device. The rub is that M. it stands for market. As in clinical trials have a lower threshold.

It didn’t use to be this bad. The FCC (and ftc) dropped the bag (regulatory capture), letting clear channel gobble up stations.

When I was a kid had a couple great local stations back in the day. One was a highschool station that local bands could send in cassette tapes and they would play them on Tuesdays. They had a Mosh Monday curated by local metalhead kids/young adults (there was vocational training at the radio station in evening classes).

Even the commercial channels were better. Not great or anything, but they had a lot more variety.

I question many aspects of this design for the consumer market, but not as you describe. Seems to me it’s likely to be very expensive, and while you might not get flats it is still going to wear no matter what.
