Ahhhh, the beauty of that thing we cherish most in life…capital. This is where you never grow tired hearing, “This was not a decision that was based on content (of the show)…It was based on financial considerations.” Oh yes, America. A place where cultural value must compete with pop icons and multinational corporations for a spot on the radio dial. A fair fight? Yeah, right…this reminds me of a conversation I was having with a radio producer recently. He had been doing radio for a long time in the States and finally got tired of this uphill and most often futile battle and moved to Germany where this is much, much, MUCH less of an issue. But do we all move to Germany? Seems a bit out of most of our means/desire. So when and how will this “war on culture” be had?

What pray tell got me on this subject today? Well, KQED recently cancelled “the only nationally syndicated public radio program about Asian American affairs.” You can read the article here.
