Do you think new regulation would be justified to break up large radio groups and make radio a more local medium again?

I believe that new regulation would not be justified to break up large radio groups and make radio a more local medium again.  If we have more local radio stations, there is a chance that people will not find out about important news bulletins of the world.  Local stations will only care about what is happening in the community and the rest will be forgotten.  It is not right to take down big companies.  These companies worked hard to get the audience that receive now.  They should not have to be regulated and be punished. 

Local radio stations could prove hazardous.  If the workers do not feel like going in one day, the people in that community could be severely affected.  For example, there was a train accident in Minot, North Dakota.  Local residents tried to call the radio station to warn residents to evacuate, only to discover that there was no one there at the remotely controlled local station.  People could miss important information about their community, such as an accident, with local stations.  With large radio stations, you are certain that someone will always be there.  You may not get the information about your specific town right away, but news will come, if it is noteworthy enough. 

Even with large radio groups, local mediums still exist.  Some even prove to be an asset to the community.  Large groups provide significant news coverage.  I do not think that we should prevent large groups from doing what they do best.  Local stations should up their game if they want to compete with the giants of the radio industry.
