It's too simplistic to bemoan the fall in quality due to Clear Channel gobbling up local radio stations.

I too miss all the unique local radio shows.

On the other hand, it was easy to buy many of them off. See these two examples:

1. LBJ and Lady Bird: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/press_box/20...

2. Payola: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payola
