Radio Stations Reduce Coverage of Local News
Date: 09 May 1994
By Andrea Adelson
Andrea Adelson
The percentage of commercial radio stations with no employees devoted to gathering local news increased last year to 16.9 percent, according to a survey by a radio industry trade group. The survey also showed that television news staffing has continued to grow modestly since 1987 even as radio news staffs declined at the steepest rate in more than a decade. Opponents of broadcast deregulation cite the findings as evidence that radio listeners are being poorly served by station owners, who since 1981 have no longer been required to broadcast news and public-interest programming to obtain operating licenses. But the survey did not address how much news is broadcast by these stations, since many of them use syndicated news reports.

Business opposition to the Clinton plan, with its mandatory coverage, appears to have increased in recent months, some executives suggested in interviews after the poll. Some say they oppose the plan even though it might reduce their health insurance costs, because they are philosophically opposed to giving the Government a greater role in health care, as the President would do.
